I feel it is about rediscovering that most of the shiny customs of society to solve a given problem have very workable alternatives. If we only knew them and had found out just how workable they are we could greatly lessen our ties to society and the matrix.
But since the matrix' demands are ever increasing - the burden on people to somehow participate in all these systems just to scrape the funds together to survive in that structure - we tend to lose sight of what is possible and maybe even healthier for us and nature.

I feel we accept privileges too often and pay a hefty price for it that we don't immediately recognize. A small backing off of "progress" would be healthier in the long run, it'S just hard to recognize it with all these distractions.

A great article!
