I remember brining up a theory on reddit about how rice agriculture had a profound influence on Japanese culture, and this idiot chimes in with "Japanese like to cooperate because they had AGRICULTURE?" Basically, his entire concept of agriculture was a point in a tech tree in a strategy game. (Hence no differentiation between agriculture in the wheat fields of Western Europe vs. rice paddies in Japan.)

In some ways, modern life does leave us out of touch with the complexities of the world and nature.
