I find these videos interesting.
While they often have many points that any society would encourage, save money, reduce debt, eat well, exercise.
They have one point that I cannot believe;
Become independent of society so you do not rely on the 'system'.
The 'system' will take over your life, with world government etc .
This video talks about having an independent job your own business, but it does not discuss the issues of running such a business, finance, cash flow, advertising, tax, and getting paid.
A job can be a lot more peaceful for many.
Cutting wood, is seasonal, low paid and subject to availability.
Self medication has its benefits, but what about major trauma, broken bones etc, its very hard to fix them at home.
Self serve dental work is also something I would prefer to rely on somebody trained at it, rather than my neighbour.
Withdrawing from society sounds like a good idea, but there is payback,
- who will fix roads
- how will law and order be maintained
- if China attacks the USA and everybody is acting as an individual, who will resist them. [ I can say as an Australian I would not go and help, if you dont try and help yourselves ]
- If massive floods and hurricanes hit will you expect others to come and help, I hope not. [ thats a benefit only people in communities
should get ]
- If you keep a car, what will you do for spare parts? You cannot engage with the other part of the community thats working together, because you would be 'freeloading'
In effect to be honorable to the cause, you would need to live like the Amish.
If you did not, then people like me may insist on it.
