our whole value ssytem is based on monetary worth, even though money doesnt even make us happy and accumulation of wealth actively makes everyone else miserable. our lives are based around greed for greeds sake most of us spend our time doing menial jobs so divorced from an actual product that we end uo feeling empty and unfulfilled. the joy of being a skilled craftsman is forever lost us as we spend 8 hours in a lovely office doing absolutely nothing that has real value our lives are governed by a seemingly endless bureaucracy that also exists only to perpetuate its own existance. doing even the most simple task requires a multitude of forms and ids that end up in a warehouse forever, never to be looked at again the tradeoff to all of this is our amazing technology, but all it does is alienate us from other people, when social interaction is the only thing that can make us truly happy modernity loving sucks

I agree with the OP, but how do u feel about the fact that only comfortable whites can make that realization, that life is profoundly difficult for those who are barely abel to sustain themselves through subsistence farming. the fact that we can bring ourselves to the point where boredom and obesity are our biggest problems are good problems to have.

We should go back to a hunter-gatherer where everyone lives in small tribes and 70% of children die of easily preventable diseases during childhood and the sick and disabled have no hope of survival. It would be pretty rad.

Whenever I take a poo poo, it goes into a magical bowl that transports it miles away from my domicile and I never have to see it again. What could I stand to gain from a society that can't provide that luxury?
