imagine a primitive no electricity country

i prefer to imagine a technically advanced country, with a small population for its size, that doesn't centralize the generation of electrical power, nor use any form of combustion as a means of doing so. one with no pavement wider then a bike path, but with little people size solar/battery powered multiple unit narrow gauge trains everywhere.

with anti-gravity and even tele-portation too. but densely forested and using its technology to live closer to nature, because that's how its culture is. the little trains are there because people enjoy them as an easy way of getting around.

what is "primative"? different technolgies advance at different rates relative to each other on the basis of the incetives the priorites of cultures create.

it is the tyranny of the dominance of aggressiveness which is disharmonious and the cause of suffering and desicration. the important thing is to imagine, build, and learn how to sustain, a world without it. some things can be allowed to fall into ruins and almost certainly will. the whole social structure today's world imagines so unasailable, because its been there longer then one person can live, but not really very much longer at that, is indeed one of them.

yes i can and do imagine a world, some form of which almost inevitably this world will become, after some event of long term consiquences reduces human population to a more managable level.

i don't think its going to be anything quite as dramatic as a war. it will more likely be other kinds of plagues, or, preferably and hopefully, the means of avoiding them.

 

i prefer to imagine women without their clothes on.

 

I'm doing it right now

 

If you want to live a primitive lifestyle with no electricity join the Amish. You can check out how well this worked for Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley in "For Richer or Poorer." Amish people get up well before dawn to milk cows and do other chores, then around here they ride to their jobs on bicycles or buggies, they don't have cars. I wonder if anyone here would make it a week living like that.

When you go camping, you take all your food with you so you are not hunting any. Nowadays most people even take a generator, then they have little tv's and their I-phone and I-pod, I mean really, what's the point of camping if you're going to take your I-phone?

I like camping and do a bit of it, spent a week once on Isle Royal with just what would fit in a backpack and really enjoyed it. But it was extreemely nice to come home to a microwave, 36" flatscreen tv, easy chair, and a car to take me whereever I wanted to go. The occasional escape is nice, but Fuck primitive; give me civilization.

 

Exactly we’ve tried that before it’s called the past

You stayed warm during the winter by burning wood or coal; there was no air conditioning, childhood illnesses were running rampant such as Chicken Pox, Diphtheria, Measles, Cholera, Smallpox, Polio, and Tuberculosis. The average life expectancy was 65. There were no OSHA or FDA guidelines. Women couldn’t vote, there were no child labor laws,.....etc.....

This installment covers the change from a nomadic to an agricultural lifestyle. The good Doctor visits the ancient city of Jericho, and we see footage of the Bakhtiari tribe in Iran and an ancient horseback game in Afghanistan. The cultivation of wheat, which led to the domestication of animals, is observed in detail.

 

Honestly it might be fine for an adventure but I would not want to live like that on a permanent basis.
