No, you're misunderstanding. We are here because people took the time to sit and think, which is how civilizations developed.
I'm not saying we were dependent on those ancestors that sat in those rooms. I'm saying that we are where we are because people sat with lengthy leisure time and though about things, which is what afforded us efficiency like we experience today, which gives us the leisure time to do these things.
I guess I worded that poorly before. But, what I was intending to get at but failed to do the first time, was that taking time to sit and think is also important, not that one group was more important than the other. That's a fruitless dispute, anyway, considering how both groups simultaneously are the other group.

Another vote for hunting and fishing. Also woodworking, hiking, cycling, all things outdoors. Don't die an air conditioned gay faggot.

See, you say that, but few, if any of us, would have the time for leisure if not afforded to our ancestors who sat in those air conditioned rooms.
