Might subsisting on what the land and sea provide also be considered thriving, if done with a close group of people? I might be in a grass-is-greener mentality

Might subsisting on what the land and sea provide also be considered thriving, if done with a close group of people? I might be in a grass-is-greener mentality, but I think we're kinda broken now; we've hacked the earth computer and aren't taking seriously the job of stewardship. Watching the birds and the recently-emerged Douglas squirrel and the moth that got into the house- I'm envious of their lives. I don't want to give up meta-cognition, but I do want to give up the specialized roles and the reliance on technology and move on (with others) to hunting and gathering on a suitable area. The earth-computer is marvelous to observe. Being of the Star Wars generation I've grown up with computers and see them as a sideshow now, not to last long because of the complex infrastructure behind it all. Some influential books I've read: Wool, by Hugh Howey The New Wilderness, by Diane Cook Why We Need to be Wild, by Jessica Carew Kraft Feral, by George Monbiot
