I tried to watch it, but I don't speak French and don't think that it's worth spending an hour staring at my computer to read the crazy based on the first segment.
It just writes off all the administrative costs of life. For instance you don't have to explain something but instead you can just mime it out as a big crowd. I suppose the writers thought that that's because they were using the other 90% of their brain, but the truth is that humans use their whole brain, the 10% figure is bogus. In the real world you have limited time and opportunity costs that make a large society that decided things in a mob a ridiculously inefficient way to run things. In order to
feed your self in that way you have to spend time deciding how to do things, and time tending crops, and time learning history, and time teaching your children how to read and write and do math, and time healing the sick, and time building
shelter, and time making tools, and time maintaining tools. Pretty soon you are out of time, and by pretty soon I mean before you have even grown
enough food for your self.
