    You can still go and live that life. Even at the difficulty of your choice! It’s just that you prefer to be a “wage slave” instead.

      That life requires a community working together, they can but they need to join a community like that. We’re social creatures we need each other.

        Even so there was lots of disease and injury. The structure of society was probably better, but that doesn’t mean it’s good on the whole.

        Find like minded people, go away from civilization. That’s basically it! If you want that, you will find a way.

        Most people still live in a state close to that. And unlike us, who can freely choose how much civilization we want, they cannot.

        Most people also prefer to have civilization, with some hygiene, security and comfort. But if you really want a simple life, it’s basically free.

        I really think it’s worthwhile pursuing if it’s a dream of yours. You either manage to live a happier life, or learn to appreciate what you have.

          and where do i find like-minded people? you make this seem incredibly trivial but in fact that one step is basically impossible.

            Yes it is. Search the internet, ask people, go to suitable places. Or lower your expectations. These things only seem appealing until you confront them with reality.
