Well, you said the same thing- "You don't harvest raw materials on your own, you hunt meat that nature has already prepared" Correct me if I'm wrong but hunting meat is the same as harvesting what is available in your surroundings. I never said you invented or created the meat, that would be ridiculous. I said you harvest it - which is the same as hunting meat. As for chinese food popping on your door step, in order for that to happen you had to have money. Money in its purest form is an option to barter for food, clothing or shelter at a later more convenient date. Take away your money and your survival depends soley on walking around with a spear and planting turnips in your backyard. That being the case - money is a tool to defer the hunting/harvesting act until said resources are required ... So, your chinese food didn't just pop into the frame, it was the end result of a chain of events that involved you first acquiring hunting/harvesting options and then cashing in those options when you needed food. You essentially hunted for you food with one layer of abstraction between you and the food. You harvested money. In the video however, the building block components "pop" into the frame, no indication of any harvesting.
