alt Hacker NewsThe average human is no longer able to hunt animals for food anymore either. I think it's just the domestication of humankind as it has been ongoing for thousands of years

That is not an apt comparison. Imagine you were a hunter and were given access to a supermarket for 10 minutes.
Would you become unable to hunt?
Using my brain to solve abstract problems and getting money that I can exchange for food, in the comfort of an office or a home, is already way past hunter-gatherer. Now if I don't even get to use my brain that's more a dumbification than domestication.

And that is not a good thing. We shouldn’t celebrate or ignore the loss of basic living skills, especially when what we get in return is a nightmare scape of a society whose whole purpose is to dominate your thoughts and fill you with anxiety to suck you dry.

The average human may no longer desire or have a need to hunt animals for food. But re-introduce that need and they will do fine. Kids and adults continue to be able to pick up fishing for the first time as well as handling a .30-30 or 20-gauge.
