This thread is most definitely an opinion thread.

Which is quite misguided, as you still can go to many places on this planet where literally all of what you wrote is true.

There are vast swathes of land on this planet, where you can go and do exactly what our great ancestors did 1mil years ago.

Not to mention that your whole opinion rests on the notion that labor is free.

You'll be eating microplastics, drinking polluted water, and enjoying a far smaller spread of biodiversity. As I said.

There is nowhere on Earth that you can escape those facts any more. Microplastics and PFAs are on Mt Everest, and the Mariana Trench, and everywhere in between; and the Anthropocene Extinction is a real thing.

I also explicitly pointed out the labor involved, so I don't understand why you keep calling that out like some sort of gotcha.

Any luck researching Sumerian furniture? Nice, innit?
