We need people to work so that we can live like people who deliver food and keep it fresh, people who cook food like restaurants etc....
it wouldn't work
There would be no money. Instead, you either grow everything you need (and employ people if you need the extra help; payment would be some of the finished product. The amount would be agreed upon beforehand) or you trade items. For example, someone has just popped off a load of chickens and you grow spuds, and one day you fancy some chicken with it. So you simply trade some potatoes for the chicken.
that sounds like one dull life partner
i prefer a challenge.
if i can keep my head while everyone else is losing theirs ....
don't you think there is a reason we have progressed this far?
probably because people sat around going, "this sucks; i wish i was warm" or,"this sucks; i wish i had a way to take care of this bleeding, pus-filled abcess in my gums".
granted, we are over developed and what not, but do you think for a second that some raggedy-ass dirt farmer who couldn't hope to live past the age of thirty would choose to go back to a life that was nasty, brutish, and short if you showed him what we have now?
medicine to heal your sick child- yes, there are plenty of major problems w/ the medical industry and plenty of naturally occuring medicines, but still, peeps just didn't live that long or have great access to these medicines.
houses/buildings- yeah, i hate suburban sprawl, but have you ever spent a cold night in the woods? it sucks unless you got the right gear.
balance is the only constant. you can't have utopia without some distopia. you can't have plenty without scarcity. nature just doesn't work like that.
it is what i think a perfect world would be
okay, this is me about to be the a$$hole in the place:
you're writing about how you don't care about technology on a COMPUTER!
you're posting these statements on the INTERNET!!
wearing mass-produced clothes from inside a MAN-MADE STRUCTURE!!!
it's like the rainbow family bitchin' about Babylon... but they DROVE A CAR to the gathering and most are WEARING SNEAKERS/TEVAS/BIRKS!!!
it's cool to question and wonder, but just remember that the grass (and ganja) is always greener on the other side.
I'm sure I've said it before, but I envy the Native Americans: No diseases, little war (they didn't like fighting for land with other people's dead ancestors buried there), and sex all the time.
Sure I am. Life in this day and age isn't feasible without all we have. I think some people are missing the point :(Quote:
