AWESOME. When you think of the Pacific Island societies, for example - they simply stalled dead in their tracks, with this Cato lifestyle.>>>>>>>>>>>

Thor Heyerdahl and his wife moved to a small Pacific Island and found out how screwed up it was. They left what they had thought would be a utopia for them for a few years. Heyerdahl wrote a book about it

Interesting, I looked it up and it’s called “Fatu Hiva” and Thor learns a big lesson regarding turning into a nature-boy: It ain’t fun. Something that our present government is trying to do to our society, and will have the same results.

And by the way, I think he got out of there just before the Japanese started moving out - would have even been a bigger lesson for him.
