modern days or primitive ways?

The way I see it, we the people who inhabit this earth are walking into primitiveness. I am passionate about ecology, work in steel industry and know what we do to kill all the resources that gave us progress. Mutation of animal kingdom has already started, fleas and mosquitoes are now growing immune to the best of pesticides, some insects are growing new sets of organs to cope, the rest of world will follow. It may not take much time to the common dog to turn into a dinosaur and I think your month's supply of meat will be of no use, as you may not have power to preserve it in a freezer. All this would not happen if we took care, yer we don't. That is sad.

I really have found myself to really just be in a comfort zone right in my life. There are just going to be times where so much of my life, whether I realize it or not on a conscious level, is rather connected towards modern convenience. Are there flaws with modern life? Of course there are. Each and every time throughout all of life, there are just times where things are going to be wrong or life, whether it is modern or primitive or really anything in between. If it is more primitive times, then I have to worry about some strange diseases or being in harsh natural disasters without any warning other than looking right into oblivion and never see it coming. Primitive times are called that because it is just long past and thankfully there are just going to be times where that time has thankfully long passed and I am rather glad for it as well. So modern times, despite all of the flaws, for the win.

i would give anything to go back to the beginning of the 20th century. sure work was hard but times were so much simpler then.

If I would go back in time, and living in a primitive lifestyle, I won't fallen in trap of financial crisis as now. Anyway, I knew that I can't go back now, the only way I can do just to do my best to tackle down all these debts. Sometimes, living in a primitive way might teach us something else. But our society is progressing from time to time.

I'm really not sure. There would be pro and cons to living both ways. No hot running water would be kind of a drag. Also, our life span weren't very long back then, because we had no way to protect ourselves from things like the common cold. I certainly wouldn't want to chase a dinosaur around for food. However.. I would like to go back to the ways we had before factories, and crooked politicians. We used to respect the food we ate. Now we treat it with cruelty, and throw away as much as we eat. We have become lazy and wasteful.

lol I'd like to stay in the present time. I can't imagine how I'd live the prehistoric life. If I get back to the old time the story will be like this : a little girl found, was chased by many dinosaurs . Oh, I need to walk for miles to visit my colegue, fight with the prey, doing many weird ritual oh no thank's. Give me a shout when you are there, I'd be glad to visit you for a day and play with the monkey

Very interesting discussion, I think I would prefer to be given a chance to choose depending on the situation.

Hahaha! whichever side I take I still see difficulties. Maybe that how life should be. To being in the modern day, as you've mention you can have to worry about money. But being in the primitive days , yes you can laze out but you will have to worry about survival. So I think I have to go about worrying about money worry about my life. Because in the old days it is survival of the fittest. And now its the survival of the wise.hehe and also of the hardworker :D
