The hunting subgame was fun for its time, but you're really better off putting your money into oxen and, if needed, buying food along the way. Finally, don't ford the rivers.

It did, however, result in the wage of horses and oxen dropping below subsistence. Why do you feel that technology cannot do to humans what it did to horses?

Horses or oxen, particularly teamed, can carry much heavier loads. In parts of the world, oxcarts, fitted with modern truck wheels and axles, still compete with automobiles for drayage.

If this hypothesis holds, horses and oxen should have even higher status than men. This is all an exercise in intellectual wankery that reminds me of the bit in Cryptonomicon where Randy's girlfriend publishes a paper correlating Unix beards with female oppression.

At first you needed your factory to be close to a river so you could use a water wheel for power, and you needed a team of oxen to plow your field. In both of these cases all you needed was linear power greater than a human could provide. Once we figured out steam power and the ability to create simple linear motion in a piston, we didn't have to build our factories on rivers anymore, and thus rivers became "unemployed" in the sense that we no longer had to "employ" them to create things. Same with animals such as oxen that just provided simple brute force pulling/pushing something.

\n \n "When I first began cutting up oxen,\n all I could see was the ox itself. \n After three years I no longer saw the whole ox. \n And now -- now I go at it by spirit\n and don’t look with my eyes. \n Perception and understanding have come to a stop\n and spirit moves where it wants. \n \n "I go along with the natural makeup,\n strike in the big hollows,\n guide the knife through the big openings,\n and follow things as they are. \n So I never touch the smallest ligament or tendon,\n much less a main joint. \n \n "A good cook changes his knife once a year,\n because he cuts. \n A mediocre cook changes his knife once a month,\n because he hacks. \n I’ve had this knife of mine for nineteen years\n and I’ve cut up thousands of oxen with it,\n and yet the blade is still as newly sharpened.
