So the answer is, shut down all the factories, stop driving cars, stop mass producing agriculture and let who survives, survive?

I agree with you strongly that tribal > modern in most/all aspects. I'm even one of those people that walk around 'thinking poorly' of myself because I have no sense of purpose. Sure, I could go back to school, get a job, and live 'the life.' But it's not what I want, that wouldn't make me happy. Sure, I could attempt to make $100k+ a year, put money away for my retirement, have 2-3 kids and pass it all on to them when I'm done, but it all feels so fucking pointless to me.

I have no sense of what I'm supposed to do, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. This is taking it a bit off topic, so I'll stop derailing now. Thank you for expanding on what you said, makes perfect sense to me, if not to others.
