@ Emo,
That’s a wonderful picture.
Most of us, however, are trapped by the conditions created by a series of bad decisions made over a long period of time. Debts requiring a continual, significant income, medical conditions requiring access to major medical facilities, vulnerable to reputation destruction due to years of farcebook activity, married a person who is definitely not the pioneer type, and so forth.
Sort of like we all are with climate change. Stuck with a series of bad decisions that looked like good decisions a long time ago, with people on one side saying “get out of debt, back to the land, back to the simple life” and people on the other side saying “life is good, buy an Alexa, did you see the latest Ford F250, the stock market is going up and will always do so, so invest, invest…”
