    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.

      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.

      Ha…actually, we already are. we retired last year and are moving to a very rural location in another country this year.
