Imagine a world where you can have anything and everything you want. There is plenty of fresh food every day, and of immense variety. There is some work to be done, may be three or four hours a day on average, but not more. In this world you can sleep and rest as much as you wish, or spend time with friends and relatives, cooking, talking, dancing, or just having fun.
And don’t worry about money, mortgages or debt. No need for those. No exams, qualifications or career to grapple with, no reviews, promotions or demotions. In this place there’s no such thing as losing your job. You can’t get into trouble with the law or the police here, because there are none. There is no need. If you want something, nearby friends and neighbours will help you find it – or let you borrow it, if they have it.
This world has very little risk of disease. Most illnesses we have today don’t exist. War and violence are also rare, because there is plenty of food and little competition for natural resources. Sounds good? Fancy moving in? I’m afraid today that’s not really an option. But, amazingly, this is the kind of lifestyle that we human beings have lived for 99 per cent of our history. Much of the evidence we have suggests that Stone Age man lived well, happily and mostly in peace.
