I think you get it, whether you end up watching or not you understand what I'm getting at...this wasn't a review, more a reason to highlight, yet again, the lack of progress humanity in general has really made.
I was in Cheddar Gorge, UK a while back, the site of where they found the most intact and oldest (9,000 years) skeleton in a cave complex which was all rather amazing...I wondered then, if he and his people were the lucky ones having lived in simpler times. We look upon ourselves as the most intelligent and advanced humans ever...but that's our hubris speaking.
Anyway, I thought the show was pretty good and certainly your habit of placing yourself in a character's shoes would be quite confronting and interesting a process.
This is the way I always have thought! With all of our modern conveniences and abilities to travel or take leisure at will, it would seem as though we are at the top and have all the luck. That is the exact thoughts of every generation of human that's ever lived. During the time of their lives, they were on the cutting edge of technology, even if it were only the discovery of fire, flint knapping etc. They were the innovators of their time. I wonder if they ever thought that those who came before were the lucky ones.
Most of the time I think yes, they were the lucky ones.
Yep, the flint knapping was in my mind when I wrote my comment, that was a highly developed skill and incredibly innovative as we're other such skills and discoveries...the wheel comes to mind as well, development of bronze as a product and so much more as well. Imagine how long those things have taken to discover huh? Quite incredible.
I like simplicity and seek it I'm life, work to keep my life as uncomplicated as possible, but gonlddamm it, that's a difficult thing to do in modern society.
