Edit: is it accessible without knowing much Japanese?

It is, if you look a few things up, but there’s also a readily available translated “backup copy” floating around.

The question I am posing is not “do modern farm workers labor harder than prehistoric hunter gathers” (they do).

Instead, the question is “should modern farm workers labor harder than prehistoric hunter gathers”.

Farming is more efficient than gathering. That’s why we farm. So why is it the case that modern farm workers are working harder?

If the required labor was split up more equitably then farmers wouldn’t have to work sunup to sundown.

The entire point of large scale agriculture is that it’s more efficient than individual peasants working a single field or whatever.

Nobody is saying that farming isn’t hard work, but modern farming should produce more food per man-hour than neolithic farming (or hunter/gathering), right? So why should it be that farm workers now have to work harder than prehistoric people?

And iirc the next fedora release will finally unify everything under /usr/bin.

On my current Fedora 40 install /bin is already a symlink to /usr/bin
