What were gatherers gathering most of the time that hunters could not?

I read a book about the native Americans in my area. I think it was called "the ohlone way" it was a few years ago so the details are fuzzy. But I think it said the hunters would spend days in like sweat houses, sweating, maybe they were taking mushrooms or smoking, I don't remember. But their goals was to think like a deer (or whatever prey they wanted to hunt) which they believed would help them hunt their prey. They wanted to achieve pure deer mentality to achieve their hunt.

So everyone that wasn't in the sweat hut had to go collect acorns and make acorn portage, which was quite labor intensive, and gather whatever other food, berries and shit, while these few hunter guys were tripping balls trying to channel pure deer mentality energy prior to hunting.

When did the Internet come to reflect society? Or has society shaped the internet? Were we always distrusting mean and vindictive before the net? Are we really that bad?

People want to go to the town square (or internet forum) to present their case, but they refuse to engage in challenging their own position to improve it or change it.

There seems to be an emotional connection to opinions, that result in people ignoring or deflecting from direct evidence that challenges it.
