Look Mom, I'm Blogging: An opinion on Jared Diamond by Luke Manory

I personally disagree with Jared Diamond's theory that the Agricultural Revolution is the "WORST" mistake in the whole history of the human race. Although he makes arguments with valid points such as how farming brought along new epidemic diseases, I believe that if we had not made it to the agricultural revolution, we as a race would have made no progress. We simply would have stagnated and continued to roam the continents as nomadic tribes until we all died which is incredibly boring to me. Also when Jared Diamond said: "We lived as hunter gatherers for nearly the whole of that day, from midnight through dawn, noon, and sunset. Finally, at 11:54 p. m. we adopted agriculture. As our second midnight approaches, will the plight of famine stricken peasants gradually spread to engulf us all?" What did he mean? It sounds like he's implying that the agricultural revolution is still occurring and that we never entered the industrial era. Keep in mind this was written in 1987.
