That's ... kinda the point. You have a gigantic blind spot which, tautologically, you can't see. Traveling significant distances under your own power, carrying what you can and living off the land otherwise, being forced to learn how food comes from the earth, being forced to exercise your memory, would do you good in revealing & eliminating that blind spot.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoI'm extremely unconvinced that would be the best use of my time. I would rather become as adept as possible with the tools I have in today's world.
- ctdonath 7y agoQuestion is: what happens when those tools fail? How far down the technology stack can you function? I'm not suggesting a large/dominating percentage of your time go to this. I am suggesting you (and the kids in question) go off-grid to see what extends beyond "today's world" and how others live in it without the tools you have.
- XorNot 7y agoWhy? Are those tools going to fail? Are you going to destroy them? Because here's the thing: if those tools fail, you die of dysentery. Go enjoy the outdoors all you want if that's what you want to do, but this fantasy you're totally setting yourself up to survive...something? is just that - a fantasy.
