Sedentary culture is the goal of civilization. It means the end of its lifespan and brings about its corruption.
I talk to children in schools all over the world, and I've found that both boys and girls are fascinated by how hunter-gatherers manage to survive entirely on what's around them in their environment: trees, rocks, animals and plants.
