This is my 5th year of college and I have officially dropped out to the dismay of both parents, who seem to think I'm an idiot for doing what I'm doing. The difference between you and myself, is that I have paid for my own education, so rather than just leave school, I am loaded with 20k in debt, which I feel is the only reason why college is pushed one the vast majority, because it leads to a life of indentured servitude via the massive credit scam, which we see is a scam now that the financial system is starting to topple over.<br /> <br /> My goal is to learn how to live in the wilderness..Or be self sustainable, but I don't want to in any way shape or form submit to this illusion of reality that people seem to buy into. Things, all these stupid things, the American dream, a house, a white picket fence etc.. Well, you can't have an American dream if there is no America.. <br /> <br /> I trust that God will provide for me, in general, he has provided for me throughout my life, what makes me think he would for some odd reason just stop? He will make a way for me, were he sees fit. As for my current situation, I am just getting started on becoming a self sufficient. I grow my own food, I want to raise my own livestock etc.. And it is all stuff I'm learning on my own, not in the classroom. Real tangible skills, that are going to come in really handy when the economic system collapses. Good day to you miss and good luck in all your endeavors! As I read your blog, I was astounded at the parallels between yours, and my experience.

You are my teacher in life and I am so thankful that you broadened my point of view on this world. Now I feel completely de-tached and freed from the immediate "common sense" way of thinking that this society embeds into our minds. I have been viewing the world from every point of view at once, and it is so rewarding to independently solve certain problems or answer a question by directly observing and contemplating it from a non-self perspective. I grow tired of people's interest in only things that are relevant to them, and do not take into account things that are non-self. The union of self and non-self encourages attempts to force the universe into conformity with what we find in ourselves. Love you and miss you.

The problem is that there is not enough places left to hunt and gather. The world MUST have modern agriculture to survive. Even now we have millions of people starving - yes we have the food - but if we didn't have modern farms billions would starve. Even worse than this, CITY people do not know how to find food in the wild. Most couldn't get a tomato plant to grow in their yard. They walk past mulberry tries, wild grapes, and ground cherries and tell their children they are poison - homeless and starving people sit beside food they could be eating - drinking pine tea - and they FEAR nature. <br /> <br /> It is far to late to go back, it would be nice, but there is only ONE way we could go back as a planet. 6 billion people would have to go. Problem is, no one wants to be one of those 6 billion.

Good on you!
I am all about your \’de-civilization\’ and strongly believe that we all have in us everything necessary to be completely self reliant and self sustainable.
It is our habituated fears that have immobilized us to buy into this rendition of civilization.
I think if we can dispel the myth we have a chance.
