I would prefer such lifestyles. I dont think you have even listened to the material. The primitive man accepted and changed his life. Today modern man suffers because of industrial society and its psychology. Modern man also has little influence on the way that his governors dictate his life. These dictations could be very life changing, but, because the modern individual is hemmed down, he can do almost nothing.

You can do what is not important, but when it is something important, you are restricted and regulated. You have no autonomy, and im sure youre a fellow who does not even feel a need for autonomy, like many leftists.

“We live in a world in which relatively few people—maybe 500 or 1,000—make the important decisions”—Philip B. Heymann of Harvard Law School, quoted by Anthony Lewis, New York Times, April 21, 1995.

Depends how you define "important". Arguably, that's always been the case, since at one point the "important decisions" were made exclusively by kings and emperors. Even after those systems started going away, there is always concentrated power.

Thats what I was saying, find a way to temporarily sterilize the population in a way that can be undone. Everybody starts off infertile, and then once youve met the criteria to have children, you can have it undone.

Dont ask me how, im just firin from the hip here. The safety net provided by modern industrial society has removed peoples desire to be responsible. In the past, theyd have just died to nature.
