I wonder if hikikomori is some similar societal level semi-fraud being perpetuated. This normal seeming young man has locked himself in his seemingly very clean room for 2 decades. I don't believe it.
That and our hunter gatherer past, many people simply aren't meant to be corporate slaves that most people are.
Industrial captialism where you own nothing and in a state of permanent indebtedness to rich mega corporations and the richest families on the planet. Not exactly a high quality life if you are are at the bottom of the class structure.
Hunter gatherers life is romantiziced. I recall some insane number of violent deaths recorded for those groups in South America in graves.

Everyone country had violent deaths, you cant compare stone age slavery with hunter gatherer lifestyles, they are very different people.
