'Being a hunter-gatherer' in the age of AI

On February 28, I gave a TEDx talk on "being a hunter-gatherer in the age of intelligent machines." Little did I know that, very soon, Covid-19 would virtually make us live the life of hunter-gatherers. For the past six months, we have lived in small tribes, dressed down, stopped shaving, worked from home, found local sources of food, found time to cook, connected better with families, travelled mostly where our feet take us, slept early, told stories on zoom, and generally lived a life that would have been recognizable to hunter-gatherers from the early age of human existence. I hope we retain some of these aspects post-Covid-19. However, the TEDx talk was more focused on climate change, technology, and evolutionary human behaviour.
