An Israeli intellectual...

...Yuval Noah Harari
“Our bodies and minds evolved and were adapted for hundreds of thousands of years for tasks like climbing a tree and picking apples, or hunting rabbits, or looking for mushrooms in the forest,” he says. “They were not adapted to the very gruelling work that is involved in field work – ploughing, harvesting, bringing water, digging weeds – things like that.”
I am a little uncomfortable with this attempt to rewrite knowledge.
