On one hand, people might be happier if civilization vanished. You get those pastoralist/peasant types in third world countries that learn to be happy with life, while some middle class dude tries filling his worthless life with retail therapy. Consumerism has taught people to not be happy unless they get the next newest thing. There would probably be less religious wars. People would probably fall back to local animist religions which aren't known for trying to convert the entire world. Social stratification would likely dissolve right off the bat. Kind of hard to be racist/classist/sexist against other people in your band, especially with the threat of exile - a virtual death sentence out in the wild. Later down the line, when a few generations pass and people re-learn wilderness survival, there would probably be less starvation in general. (I could imagine a gigantic starvation based die-off initially though. The population only got this big because of agriculture, which built civilization. If civilization and thus agriculture fails, zillions would go hungry. So I guess our population size would have to drop a very large amount in order to get that good ol' sustenance based commune lifestyle.) Once people learn how to live off the land and adopt generalist foraging skills, I can imagine mass hunger being a thing of the past. Diabetes, cavities and cancer would probably go away too since we'd revert to wide-spectrum foraging and eat way healthier than we have in a long time. But that health wouldn't really matter because you'd probably die from some pathogens in a stream. Or get an axe to the back of the skull, or die by a lion, or sprain your ankle in a ditch and starve to death.

Best Giraffe posted:Actually I'm p sure Mr Khan started invading the world specifically to get out of the shitpile that is Mongolia I think OP's confusing Genghis Khan with Attila the Hun. Hey, OP, you sure you mean Genghis Khan, the guy responsible for history's biggest land-spanning Empire? You sure you don't mean Attila the Hun, the Scourge of God, destroyer of empires? That'd make a bit more sense. I mean you'd still be wrong, Attila wanted to marry a Roman lady and also get half the western Empire, he wasn't some freeman-on-the-steppes who didn't believe in cities.

No humanity was unironically better off as hunter gathers which is why I seek to emulate those idyllic times by rooting through garbage for half chewed pizza crusts and grubs.
