Explains the process of industrialization in a very true way, but falters near the end where he states the solution of destroying the system. He avoids the subject of masses dying off after industrialization is no longer available to support the population. Furthermore, he provides no solution to stopping industrialization from occurring in the future. He just says that the current generation suffering from it now will be dead and free. Lastly, he ignores the fact that pre industrial societies and people had just as much, if not less freedom than current people. You work under the sun doing what you need to do, spend your few hours in the evening doing whatever you can do with your limited resources and technology, and you go to sleep in your stone house until the sun rises on the next day. You repeat this process until you die. People didn’t kill themselves back then because of the fear of a god and the lack of easy small footprint suicides.

I look up to everyone, I'm a dwarf.

I see where you’re coming from but I’d argue on a couple of points. I think it’s irrelevant if masses die off to him because the Earth has equalizing measures in place to make sure only the fittest survive. Industrialization and the explosion of population are closely intertwined, and it would help to bring people back to a time in which their numbers and level of environmental exploitation are within Earth’s tolerances. The ecological damage caused by humans is inevitable, but leaving it to more primitive types such as wildfires is a lot less damaging and far less lasting than harmful chemicals and plastics in the environment. The Earth recovers from the other processes quickly, as it always has. The Holocene is a very peaceful time in geologic history.

Furthermore, I think you’re missing that he never denies the absence of hard work in the primitive or less technologically-reliant life. He argues that it’s the nature of the work that’s ultimately different.

"The hunter-gatherer’s work is purposeful, and its purpose is not abstract, remote, or artificial but concrete, very real, and directly important to the worker: He works to satisfy the physical needs of himself, his family, and other people to whom he is personally close. Above all, the nomadic hunter-gatherer is a free worker: He is not exploited, he is subservient to no boss, no one gives him orders; he designs is own work-day, if not as an individual then as a member of a group that is small enough so that every individual can participate meaningfully in the decisions that are made.” -The Truth of Primitive Life: A Critique of Anarchoprimitivism”

Oh and as another note, a lot of our industrialized resources rely on specialized equipment to extract. Fossil fuels are finite, for example, and obvious oil wells are running dry, requiring fracking and other methods to acquire it. It can be argued that industrialization would be unlikely to occur again due to no ability to extract versatile fossil fuels that really propelled the industrial revolution in the first place

I want to be as creative and skilled at an art as he was at writing. His stories were amazing and really interested me more than any others.
