You should visit some parts of Canada. The mountains in BC are gorgeous, you will really feel at one with nature and removed from all the materialism.
The Yukon and Northwest territories will also be an experience like no other. Very peaceful.
We are of one mind. There are still many unspoilt places on this world. South Africa is where I have found mine. Hope you find yours soon.
You would enjoy Antarctica.
People are disturbed, ( not by things but how they see them) Epicitus 200BC...people are just human don't judge them by their faults you are just as guilty would you like society to cast you out because you lied you are a liar therefore unworthy to be human.. I think not, we learn to forgive the faults in others because we want to be forgiven...
Buddhist monastery in the desert.
And excuse me,, but I am not ignorant, greedy or materialistic.
I try to be kind and generous, and take care of people. I have a fairly high IQ and live in a small apartment. I recycle.
Honestly, you might try going fishing in a tent by a local lake. It will refresh you immensely, and you can return to your life, grateful for the conveniences, the computer, and bathroom, and comfy sofa that you take for granted now. You sound burnt out.
Vacation, NOW, before you buy a rifle.
How about Plum Village, France?
I agree, try moving to Sutherland in the NW of Scotalnd, it is half the size of Belgium with 13,000 population and is Europe's last wilderness. Life there is magnificent.
hit the lottery, retire, and buy island and crew. ye haw
Try building dry stone walls.Get a tent and live on the job.You will see the real countryside meet folk who care about the environment ,be making habitats for wild animals and find out how to preserve the past for the benefit of future generations.
Cave in a Himalayan Forest.
Not even the deepest depths of the ocean. There is nowhere left to go. Even the Antarctic is polluted, and melting fast.
You are stuck in the civilised world, because you are a product of it. You can't get back to nature because you were never there.
However, I am not particularly greedy or materialistic, though I am certainly ignorant, as are we all.
You could get away from people, if that is what you want, but you might find that you actually need the rest of the human race after a while.
When I feel like that, I just take a walk, but I'm not telling you where.
I am with you. I think those who have found a place to get away from the rest of the world aren't talking. Probably cause they wanna be left alone and are afraid that big businesses will come up and ruin where they are living.
Wilderness is a state of mind. And you know...you sound like you need to make some new friends? Do you have friends? Oh...that's right. You sound like you don't want to know anybody. Books are a great place to hide out. Unlike your computer, they are not interactive.
When you find it can I come with you?
Either that or I have to wait till I can finish my degree in anthropology and that is taking way to long.
Unfortunately, with 6 billion+ people on the planet, there's not enough nature left for all of us who want to get back to it.
Humans, like most other creatures on this planet, modify our environment to suit our needs. Ants do it, beavers do it, bacteria and protists do it, and people do it. This is natural. Wanting to return to some ';natural'; state is an escape from other people, not from civilization. Civilization is natural.
I think the land where Ted Kazinsky had his little cabin might be available, but they have removed his abode.
My advice is to simplify your life as much as possible, ride a bicycle when you can. Find a small town in which to live. Choose a way of making a living that you work with your hands and sell the product. Many people who have resigned themselves to live in the ';civilized'; world appreciate the sentiment you feel and will honor your humble existence.
Their are still lots of places you can go to get back to nature, even in USA/Canada. If you look around there are lots of places that are un-inhabited by people. You will get away from all us ignorant, greedy, materialistic people. You will also get away from all the really decent people that make up the majority of our society. You will have no access to the web, malls, fast foods, cars, TV, movies, etc etc etc. You know, all those things that people like you criticize and whine about every day but still use at every opportunity. The world is a wonderful place full of fantastic opportunities. A little more positive thinking on your part may help you take advantage of all the good stuff. Heck, you might even do some good for others,heaven forbid ! Good luck in finding your little acre of loneliness, unhappiness, and desperation.
You could try living in a cave somewhere in Afghanistan.
But I bet you wouldn't like it!!
Listen, do you want to give something back, work with people that really care about what they do, live for a period of time in the outdoors with people who care about you and become your family.?
I felt like you and found Trailblazers (www.trailblazers.org) and it changed my life. Its an Experiential Outdoor Education programme in the states for disadvantaged kids. you should check out their web site and apply to work their next summer. It could change your life and you will never look back.
or if you live in the uk try www.ate.org.uk you work hard with kids but become part of something special
Spent a night in the rainforest and the birds and creatures will learn to respect you.
Try Auroville Community, Pondicherry, India. I think you will find loads of like minded people there.
Other - more drastic option - I heard they are selling lots on the moon. Try your luck there. You will be at ease there.
Go to the woods in the mountains somewhere....that's the only serenity you'll find here, unless you find it within.
In Africa
On the moon, you shan't be bothered by anyone... Bye!
You want nanotechnology, and you want to live a mono-agrarian lifestyle?
Let me assure you, YOU wouldn't stand a chance on a camping trip, let alone a serious backwoods lifestyle.
Think carefully: if you're willing to accept all the trouble that comes with ';uncivilized'; living, I'd recommend the undeveloped parts of South America or northern India.
Try Butlins !
desert island
or go and live in a jungle
VERY few people that have lived in the ';civilized'; world want to totally leave it behind...many like to go and VISIT nature and dabble BUT then return for the conveniences and amenities...like medicine and health care or family or intellectual stimulation or transportation or toilet paper or..........YOU can PICK and CHOOSE not to associate with ignorant, greedy, materialistic people...seek out or solicit those that are not....
