Reply #54: On the other hand

lots of educated people are seeing the writ on the ceiling and leaving cities to relearn self sufficient (and fun!) ways to live. You can call it a neohippie way of living or what ever you like.

Sure, practicing agriculture in a way that is destructive to the land (doing as dictated by master classes and consumerism) is no fun - it's slavery. Working with the land (natural gardening, permaculture, edible forests and landscapes etc.) instead of working against the land (to keep it constantly at unnatural state - at first stage of succession and bare) as part of a community based on equality and compassion is fun and rewarding and healthy.

PS: Others who like city life are doing guerilla gardening etc. community work to relearn primary production in cities, to make also cities self-sufficient.
