Remember; there's an alien race doing fairly well on this planet.
And they're not human.
They evolved on earth about 40-50 million years ago.
They're very intelligent...they have a brain about as large as ours...they have a very sophisticated communication system between themselves....but they decided millions of years before our evolution not to use technology.
There numbers are in the hundreds of thousands..perhaps millions.
They have no farms, no tactories, no jobs, no hospitals no doctors, and little if any disease.
They live without clothes, or money.
Their children aren't required to do any formal "school". They learn by just playing.
The adults spend the day playing, making love, and eating. None are known to be over nor underweight.
A few have even volunteered to entertain us at local "seaworlds"....
I'm guessing you know who I'm talking about by now...
@altschmerz You don't know that - your agnostic....remember!
So-long and thanks for all the fish
Mostly harmless
Sorry for the inconvenience.....
Sounds a little like the Prime Directive in Star Trek.

I just can't get a publisher interested in Vogun poetry.
@WonderWartHog99 have you tried bribes? It worked for Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings....
@EricTrommater They're not called "bribes." They're called vanity publications: author pays for the publishing. To many a writer, it sounds like a sure fire way to get into print. It's half the story. The other half is getting it distributed to book sellers and sold. Another aspect is getting good book reviews that encourage people to buy the book.
Most authors are too familiar with the rejection notice because the publisher thinks their works suck. It's common for the publisher to be right.
Transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau wrote a book about a boat trip. When the publishers kept turning him down, he went into vanity publishing.
He said his 800 books at his home. I think he said 785 of them were his book about his boat trip.
@WonderWartHog99 it was a quote from Douglas Adams....
@EricTrommater Quotes have quote marks. I was digressing on the topic in hopes of leading others astray.
