I’m majoring in CS related-field, and I used to have tons of passion for it and underlying tech, and worked as full stack dev, but my mind was very different in a good way (better at logical/cognitive demanding tasks, creative, productive, etc). Things happened, and I just can’t stand living in society, experiencing all this materialistic world and feeling sick about it. I’m truly traumatized and I’ve been trying all available means to improve (so I’m not asking what rule 3 is against)… I can’t feel any passion for what I used to do… The meanings I gave for my life and hope are away. I don’t care anymore about digital world, industrialization, I just can’t. So my performance has suffered due to all this.
So, it can sound funny to read this, but I am considering living in a farm I have access to and do my own farming to eat, artesian well for water, constructing just a little home to live… I don’t exactly care about electricity. I would probably be happier just by burning some stuff to have light at night if needed and looking at the stars all alone until death.
What do you all think about this?
Just reframe this as a temporary trip/challenge to live off the land and regroup!
If you can genuinely view it that way, tell people about it and they’ll think it’s a really cool experience.
Then do it. Make it a project you can complete and then actually finish and come back to tell people what you accomplished and what you learned.
Agreed. You don’t need to make it a “to the end of life” thing. Go there for a year, look at how it influence your headspace, have a change of pace from industrial environment.
