A strange video which I found by accident. There's a style about it which you may or may not like. But once you're past the form, the content shines.
The tittle is an overstatement since modern life is the reality from which most of us start from. But it is a construct as explained and you can indeed move away from it which interestingly more and more people are finding out. And amazingly, if you want to change the "world", what better and more accessible place to do it than starting with yourself?
The key is to understand the concept of de-conveniencing and that by making your life harder, you will actually make it easier and longer. Eat less, skip meals, you actually do not need 3 meals a day. Eat more plants, more fish, more olive oil (Mediterranean). Prepare the food yourself if you can. Walk more, use your car less and park as far as you can to oblige yourself to walk, do not seat too much, move, exercise.
We have already discussed these ideas when we talked about why almost nobody was obese in the 1950s. Life was simpler, less convenient and consequently healthier. You do not need to go full paleolithic.
Then there is modern medicine which has transformed doctors into pill peddlers. In the past, a doctor would often "know" you, listen to you for 10 or 15 minutes then make a diagnostic and advice you on doing something specific. Today, a modern doctor is on a hunt for whatever ill you may have and will offer a remedy in the form of a pill or tablet, curing the symptoms but solving nothing.
There is much more in the video below:
