Interesting, but not too surprising. When I said fight for survival, I did not mean to imply that pre-historic man lived in a dog-eat-dog world where it was every man for himself, but rather that man that food, water, shelter, all these things were harder to come by compared to first world countries today. I agree it is silly to believe humans were rabid barbarians murdering and raping each other like crazy before agriculture; our status as a social animal with high levels of cohesion and co-operation is an essential part of the reason why we are at the top of the food chain. Regarding Nietzsche, my understanding of him isn't that he glorified violence in general, but rather that he objected to the idea of slave morality where one turns the other cheek and sympathizes with the conquered instead of the conqueror.
It's interesting and reassuring to read that pre-historic man may actually have had some type of primitive welfare system. This is one of the large reasons I don't call myself conservative, since I actually do believe in some manner of a welfare system, as long as it's tempered. Furthermore, I am increasingly becoming sympathetic towards current day commies on their objection against the eight hour workday, since this appears, like you imply, to be a novel concept to humanity, and that pre-historic and even feudal populations may have worked significantly fewer hours compared to the current norm.
Don't get me wrong, I am not giving up on art and music any time soon, and I am a grown man posting on a board about cartoon ponies, so I am naturally very fond of the idea of play. My doubts regarding the real value of art and music stem more from a general sense of nihilism than Kaczynski wagging his finger at me. I know that I like it, and because of that I will keep doing it, I just wonder if there really is a deeper meaning to it, or if it's just elevated hedonism.
Also, pony.
