    if time travelers kidnapped a few thousand scientists, engineers, and so forth from the present and took them back thousands of years and dropped them naked in the post-glacial northern european steppes, the children and grandchildren of the very few who survived would quickly reinvent cave painting as the single best means of improving their productive capacity in the material conditions they find themselves. they certainly aren’t building a chip manufacturing plant to start making computers.

    This is just anti-intellectualism. Making shitty jokes about how modern people wouldn’t be able to survive if they were dropped naked in the wild is some boomer level posting.
