Many, many years ago there was series on TV called “Connections”.
A man named James Burke would take some common everyday object
and talk about all the things that had to happen in the past for that thing to exist.

Watch these two youtube videos by James Burke:

The first one (8 minutes) is about how civilization began.

The second one (6 minutes) is about how civilization ends.

[hint: the answer is a 4 letter word]

That’s exactly what I thought of when I talked about how valuable people who know how to farm will be in the future.
