Westeners living like hunter gatherers

[TheAlchemist]

I found this documentary quite fascinating and mind-expanding. Obviously the classic hippie fantasy of "I will go in the forest and mother nature will take care of me and give me everything I need" is mostly naive and would get you killed very quickly.

This documentary shows quite a mature perspective on how hard the hunter-gatherer lifestyle is, you have to dedicate everything you got to do it. It's possible to survive in nature long term, but you have to develop serious mastery in dozens if not hundreds of different skills. Also, it's pretty much just impossible without depending on other humans; your tribe.

@TheAlchemist There is not going back, either we outsmart our tendencies and merge techology with nature or we go extinct or decline to less population, then the cycle start again. We are in KaliYuga Now, it can take lot of time to the total decline.
