Why are you not running in your primal forest instead of posting here? Genuine question.

What an inane comment, we don't live in a world where you can really do that anymore, that doesn't make him wrong. Go read 'Industrial Society And Its Consequences'.

I am aware of my hypocrisy, but I would honestly rather live with primal tribes and not stress about all the shit happening with the world. I mean, what kind of a society will my eventual children grow into? 1984-Big brother world. Jesus.

I would rather hunt a bear, then eat it for a week with my tribe, and then dance around the fire while drinking some psychedelic drink in the warm night, seeing all the stars and milky way without all the light pollution. Oh wouldn't that be just stress-free life?

You should try that for a week or two. Take an alaskan sabbatical or something.

You will likely gain a new appreciation for modern society. That or be bear food.

At the very least they would gain a new appreciation for modern sanitation and medicine when eating that bear meat or drinking some water gives them a parasite or cholera - wait, sorry, we can't have the insight of modern education and technology - when the land has cursed them with an evil spirit.

Yeah, should you experience the stress of trying to live off the land even with some modern tools its not easy.

Typically you dont hunt bears either, you want to hunt things that cant hunt you back. The real thought of being eaten alive is a tad bit stressful.

Even boar hunting is a bit dangerous.

Right up until you die of a infection resulting from a minor scratch.

Acceptance of germ theory (and the subsequent use of antiseptics) really only came about near the end of the 19th century. The hardships of pre modern life are frequently overblown in my otherwise baseless opinion.

I know what you mean, but if I followed that anxious mindset.... then anyone who would die from a minor scratch probably deserves to die. Darwin in action, yes please.
