In this fiat world we are so used to try and use things that make no sense at all, we have the stimulus to do things in a less efficent way and to demosntrate to others how cool it is. As a long time linux user for example I lost a lot of time using Arch and other distros when there's Debian that simply works is very privacy and security focus. I spent a lof of time(and money) going to the gym because os social pressure, science when biking and walking is much more pleasure to me. When you travel to some countries in Europe it becomes much more clearer how a simple life, like many generations lived in the past is a very cool and light way of life, it teaches us how to give up some vanities and enjoy the moment and simpy things. And at the end it works and has the test of time based on the try and errors of ancestors.
