Did you miss the part about dying of appendicitis? It was literally one sentence.
If your thesis is “I would rather be dead than RTO and have my soul devoured,” well, I have some sympathy for that point of view. But what you actually said is “One is living,” and actually no, one is very much not living.
sure, people fantasize about this and the few people who actually do it realize that they do need some modern infrastructure for bare minimum survival. It’s really difficult to live off the land in the middle of nowhere in a hostile jungle. we have spent centuries progressing to modern civilization and yes we have gone too far, but we do need some modern amenities to ensure basic comfort and basic needs are met.
I’d rather have that over sitting in traffic driving to a soul devouring corporate job due to RTO
No you wouldn’t.
Of course I would. One is living, the other is merely existing.

Right. And I would trade that existence, with the prior 2 years of living, for the other scenario that I mentioned.
There are islands out there. If you truly think you would prefer that life you can just… go do it.
You don’t even need an island. You could wander off into the jungle of Vietnam and never hear from society again.

Ha…actually, we already are. we retired last year and are moving to a very rural location in another country this year.
That’s not even remotely the same thing as you proposed
Well, i was in that situation prior. So, that’s how I know what I would prefer. Because I have been there.
Why the fuck are you on Lemmy then? Go build a canoe, try to row to a deserted island, then sink and die in a storm. Live free, friend!
I already live free, but thanks! Hopefully, you can at some point as well my friend.
Guess we know a future opponent of Naked and Afraid. See you on Dicovery TV.
As if you would have a sound sleep and full belly every day stuck on an island for your very short existence.
The universe gives me what I need regardless of where I am.
