People are the worst. Agriculture was a mistake. If I have a time machine I'd go back and kick that fucker tiktaalik back into the ocean.
I'm sure you're joking, but actually I'm reading a very interesting book about this topic called "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity."
It's really concerned with freedom, and disputes the idea that the lack thereof is inherently tied to agriculture.
Agriculture made more humans. More humans is always trouble.
(But it is a really incredible book, as are all of Graeber's work. If you like it you should read Debt: The First 5,000 Years)
