    Makes sense. I am currently watching a guy on YouTube who bought 6 acres of land on a mountain in the Italian Alps, building a homestead from a ruin on the plot. He said he wanted to do so because mundane work life drove him crazy. He’s done stuff before like going on a two year bike trip from Vancouver to Patagonia. He said that he just wanted to feel tired again, to be connected to nature instead of constantly living in a work focussed society and to learn how to build thing from scratch.

    He really makes me think about what I’m doing with my life.

      it was definitely a big thing a couple years ago and still is i think especially after primitive technology got viral. people yearn for something else than this alienating capitalist life and are limited in what they can do ab it in capitalism
