Here we go again. Alternatives to the present have to pass the test of whether they are "idyllic" or not.
Wasn't there such an implication with "Hunter-gatherers in fact (depending on climate) usually live pretty easy, work-free lives."? --- I was thinking of the bushmen, which if I remember by anthro class correct work about 8 hours a week. I assume that a hunter-gatherer in an arctic climate, say, would work a hell of a lot more.
