Read between the lines is all I can really say. He's not saying lets go back to the stone age, he says man has forgotten to deal with shit rather than make something that deals with it for us.
The human digestive system in the stone age was so strong, you could stop at any muddy creek, drink from it, and you wouldn't have any stomach issues. Today, if it's not "Bottled" or "Purified" it's bad for your system. I walk in the rain all the time, I don't get colds anymore, just one nasty virus per year. My friends that all use their umbrellas or stay in when it rains get 20 colds a year. Rather than deal with heat, we got air conditioners to make us comfy. Rather than deal with cold that in the past would have made us uncomfortable can kill us nowadays because of our systems. THAT is what Yahtzee means.
wolves can hunt for their own food and be self sufficient, domestic dogs, on a whole (as a basic rule) usually can't due to pampering. He's not looking at the dogs from a practical point of view, he's seeing them on a self-sufficient basis.
Anyway, I've read it all again, but I still doesn't make much sense. If you make something to deal with shit for you, then the shit was still dealt with, right? Using air conditioners is dealing with heat the smart way. Basically what you are telling me is that the best way to deal with someone hitting you in the face with a rock is not asking him to stop or moving out of the way, but growing thicker skulls. Also, there is a reason why cavemen rarely lived past 30.
I really don't understand why Yahtzee tries to paint modern society as a bunch of stupid animals wallowing in their own filth. Is he ignorant, or is he truly a nihilistic asshole? Don't get me wrong, I like ZP. But come on, he's a funny guy who makes funny little videos. Why is he trying to shove his pseudo-intellectual ramblings down our throats?
Alright, your average dog is not a very good hunter, but can still scavenge food. That's why stray dogs are a problem.
