In fact, we have adapted from self-sufficient, intelligent beings to a people that are incapable of most tasks if it does not involve pushing the button on the remote or heating pre-prepared products for consumption. Indeed, if we were put in the position to be self-sufficient as those in the early part of the 19th century were, most people would surely either starve or perish from the elements. In a hundred and fifty years, monopoly capitalism has stripped from us the survival techniques and crafts we used for thousands of years and centralized them within capital.
