Stone to Modern age

If humanity's progress was reset to the stone age, how long would it take a bunch of you Veeky Forumsfags to get us up to industrial level tech. To modern tech?

Following for interest

Never because wed know some all powerful force could set us back to zero for no reason and so who cares ?

What do you mean by "reset to stone age"?

Like everybody on earth appears naked on some new Earth like a round of RUST?

First of all the majority of people would starve to death in the first month, After that is a mad dash to set up agriculture. As long as we can do that much it wouldn't take too long to build back up to modern standards. The hardest part would be reestablishing infrastructure (roads/bridges/power lines).

Pretty much the scenario you described, yeah. I would add though, that the only people transported to this alternate earth with knowledge from the medical and STEM fields would be Veeky Forums users. Others are around, but are pretty much science illiterate.

We can only pray that the few innawoods survivalist fucks are able to keep us alive until everybody learns how to live off the land

I would mine for copper, refine it, then make a brewery for making alcohol.

Mining and refining metal isn't as trivial as you might think it is.

First of all, is there someplace to mine copper within walking distance? Do you know how to identify copper ore locations? Do you know how to separate copper from the ore? Do you know how to build a kiln which can get hot enough to work with copper? Do you have any experience mining through rock to reach copper deposits?

No part of this is easy. Especially since you can just make alcohol using a simple clay pot which even a child could make quickly

18 months. Industrial.
2 years. Modern.
5 years. Emperium.

Fine
Easy mode:
Everyone that is from Veeky Forums wakes up in the same area. A bunch of survival specialists that equal the amount of Veeky Forums users also wake up near you. Location is subtropical.

Hard mode: All users scattered, no innawoods survivalists near location of Veeky Forums users.

Yes.

Sounds great. Thanks for the (not really a) recommendation.

The /k/ survivalists quickly round up the nerds and set up a sort of tribal post-apocalypse warrior society where the nerds are forced to make cars, guns and spiked armor for them

Assuming we retain all the information we currently have, I'd say it might not be too bad. If we had all 7 billion people a lot of people would die so that'd be bad (pol replies are not welcome) but we could redesign a better more efficient world.

>If we had all 7 billion people a lot of people would die so that'd be bad (pol replies are not welcome)
Not pol, but logistically that would probably be a good thing for a suddenly helpless species that has lost the means to feed ourselves

>We can only pray that the few innawoods survivalist fucks are able to keep us alive until everybody learns how to live off the land
It's not so easy. High calorie, high protein food is extremely rare in the wilderness. It basically means everyone has to contribute their energy to hunting or fishing efforts just for the chance of not starving to death. Whatever group does this poorly will definitely fail. When you see shows like "Survivor" and the extreme rate of weight loss contestants incur (2+ lbs/day), it's clear that the show is not about survival, but controlled starvation. You can expect an uncontrolled, real life wilderness situation to be worse.

Wish we could start over with our current knowledge and know what to do and not to do. Focus on recycling and green technology.
Part of why I want to go live on a moon or mars base, you start over but with current technology.

I'm 26, what are the chances of me being able to get on a ship to mars? Say if you can volunteer.

26%

>I'm 26, what are the chances of me being able to get on a ship to mars? Say if you can volunteer.
Zero.

Agree. Require more details. Also, a way to store and transmit knowledge needs to be our first priority after a food supply if we're ever to return to modern standards.

Books?

I'll go along with this only if I'm designated the tribal Historian.

We would require professionals to preserve and educate our young on the myriad sociocultural events that occurred before The Happening.

Just find a volcano and dig for green rocks.

Copper is roasted in the air. I can use wood.
>clay
That's what we start with in stone age, but I won't work til the next age.

I wonder how long it would take until we get agriculture up.

assuming we don't have access to modern crops, it won't be productive quickly. the basic pattern is to find non-poisonous, fast growing plants (like weeds) that we can then plant in small plots. they won't get you much initially, but we'd always want to set aside the variations with the best qualities for the next batch. over time harvests will be continually larger and more nutritious.

less than the chances of the singularity happening in your lifetime

Define "reset".
Nuclear war? Meteor? Pandemic? Supervolcano?

Anything that would throw us back that far would kill billions. Even then, there would still be industry. It may be a Mad Max scenario, but the technology genie is NOT going back in the bottle.

Let's have a quick analysis of the average Veeky Forums posters
>Category theorists
>Retard undergrads
>Retard high schoolers
>EEs (>muh control systems)
>IQ posters and flat earthers and climate change deniers
Yeah we are going to die

Just let us have this.

What's wrong with category theorists? Category theory is hyped up now, I just had to sling buzzwords around to get funded, but now I'm staring to become skeptical of it.

>user, how are we going to feed my family?
>hmmm, Yoneda Lemma comes to mind

>mfw the food distribution function is neither injective nor surjective

A Solar Flare or Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse could destroy all Electronics, Power Supply & Networks on Earth.

I have to agree with a lot of the fags here, a lot of people will die from starvation and it will be everyone's effort to start agriculture, then hopefully infrastructure.
However I'm not so hopeful these things will happen in our lifetime. How many farmers made it to figure out how to best grow foods in what soils and what time if year to plant or harvest, etc. Keep in mind while figuring food out, we don't have paper. We haven't written shit down and we're losing the memories we don't use. 1,000 years from now they'll find indecipherable C++ note scribbled on cave walls but they'll have a new language by then.
But in the meantime our kids won't know what a computer is and won't understand our stories of ancient electric boxes from before the boom boom.
I'm sorry, I don't have faith we can go from stone to computers soon enough.
You assholes need to develop motherboards and kernels and linear algebra all over again.
I just don't think we'd have written down enough to get us the head start.

Depends entirely on your skillset

It will destroy transformers on transmission lines and that is about it.

Depends on the cultural impact. Some technology cannot come unless the culture is set up for it.

The industrial revolution kicked off in England because the culture.
