Hunt and gather than. No one is forcing you to use internet, take medicean, or live in heated/cooled houses.

Actually you kind of are. Most of everything is private property, or govt owned land which is managed they can't just have homeless nomads wandering around messing up the ecosystem

this, im in Australia and its literally impossible to become a true hunter gatherer unless you're Australian aboriginal

but global capitalism. also we have been brought up without the necessary skills a hunter gatherer society would instil in its young.

>we are hunter gatherers at heart
>for some reason civilizations are superior the foraging

however, Kaczykski don't care if i spelt his name incorrectly . Modern technology and civilization will inevitably lead to no personal freedom. But personal freedom in the supreme sense is a retarded meme.

I realized at a young age that in any other time in any nation I would've died a child due to how shit I am.
Thankfully I was born in '89 in a 1st World country =

Live in a car. Roam the wilds as a nomad, in your car. Hunt animals, with your car. Gather vegetables and press them into oil, to fuel your car. Enjoy all the modern technology while remaining a nomadic hunter/gatherer.
I'm sure a nomadic society would have still eventually developed decent technologies and medicine. It just would have taken them longer.

I really hate these "verify until none are left" captchas. They go on forever.

A few things were better during our hunter-gathering past but a lot of things were worse, though that depends on the time period of civ.

The best path forward is not going back to the past but mix the present with the past. Our diet has been bad ever since civilization came along and now we can actually improve it - and no that doesn't mean the paleodiet, we can do better with a scientific healthy diet.

I wish luddite meant skeptical of new technology instead of anti-tech. I think we have all the reasons to be more conservative in terms of tech.

Picture related, Taleb has a similar if slightly different sentiment.
