did people be fooled to build cities to cage themselves? then the comfort sucks them in, and slowly they lose their survival skills and end up being told what to do and think that is normal?
Cities are like farms, farming the young's time and energy.
They are "happy" with their crappy city things...

My husband and I love this video and it is just like that. Every time I use public transport, train or bus, and I see people running around me desperately as if they were going to die for taking 2 minutes, all with their suits and lunch boxes for work, where they will spend 1 hour going to work. , 10 hours in it, plus 1 hour or more back home, all to repeat the same thing over and over again every day, in places where they do not enjoy being, working for the dreams of others. I run away from that lifestyle, it's not even for me.

I prefer living in the village, but there's no denying that cities are crucial for the advancement of civilizations. You never see a great civilization without a great city. Cities offer opportunities and also the survival of those who cannot make it on their own. The loss of survival skills is real because in cities there are other comforts that do not exist in the village. Even in the village, people are almost forced to go to the city for various reasons. It is not mandatory, but it is a facilitator. People only lose these survival skills if they become complacent. If they want to have them, they just need to want to learn.

@Natalia leaving the comfort to learn. 👀

You can have the same advancing civilization also in small villages. Is not necessary to stay in mega cities, just for advancing technology. Cities are a fucking prison and a disadvantage to people. People lose important qualities just because they live in those prisons. It's a rat race and they still do not realize that they are the victims.

Soulfly — Back To The Primitive

@Public_N_M_E, have you heard of this band?
reply
Yessir I know soulfly, but I don't think I've heard this track before. Sounds Ace!
reply
It's not very well known. Only true metalheads know it ;) What you might not know is that the vocalist of Soulfly is Max Cavalera, who co-founded Sepultura in 1983 with his brother Igor Cavalera. I really like this Brazilian born tribal metal.
reply
I love sepultura 😜 I got to see them live, they played a small venue in my hometown and it was fantastic. They were supported by soil I think? 🤔 Or it could have been nonpoint... I can't remember.
reply
Yes! That started with the Tower of Babel

Too late to complain, this mindset transition happened ten thousand years ago when people moved from hunting and gathering to farming.

it's about the balance I think. You can have the comfort, but you need to have those skills too; maybe that's part of the reason I enjoy being a nomad - I need to have constant challenges; otherwise, I feel just existing.
