I have lived in Thailand until very recently, and by far, the increase in quality I had is from what I learned from the people there, in the city and the rural areas. Before there I was living in Sri Lanka. Also had a lot of lessons learned there. It is people like Jon in these places that counterbalance all the myths and illusions we are fed by "other means". "Life is easy" indeed, we are the ones making it hard when it is not. This video reminds me of something I read recently. Many people talk about the first "signs of civilization" in terms of big buildings, and even "weapons design", but one person once said that the oldest sign of civilization is a prehistoric leg bone that has signs of being healed long prior the death of the owner, in a way that suggest the owner was cared for. Meaning there was "civilization" which took care of him all the way through the recovery. That is indeed a real sign of civilization.

Yes, we're not realize the things we called technology, wisdom, science actually is a crude version of the real amazing nature, we try to mimic them, when actually their existence is already far more than enough for us. They taking care us, and we don't need to intervene too much. It's because we think to great about ourselves and not understand how far we are compared to the creations that the One provide us

Im glad that you exist and have courage to share your insight. When i was young i didnt like the system at all , work study work , it made no sense to me but when i didnt want to study or work , people would call me lazy , and i believed them, and become harsh toward myself. When i hear you speak , i remember myself as a kid , and i feel like "wow that kid is really smart and he somehow knows better than the adults". It was a feeling that something is wrong , i didnt know what it is. Today , i understand it very clearly , and want to thank you for that

Agree with this so much. Our values are screwed up, it's all about profit and "succeeding", whatever that means. If we don't "succeed", we are "losers" and worthless. It's not true, it's lies that we've been conditioned with to keep the economic system running and to keep the rich getting richer. I think we're being used but we don't realize it, and I think it's going to become more and more dysfunctional if people keep buying into this. Some days I think it's too late, other days I think there might still be time to turn it around. The forces that want to keep this going are very strong, but at the same time it seems that more and more people start to see that something is really not right. Thank you for addressing this topic, I wish more people talked about this.

I totally agree and I think about this a lot too. It's crazy how the idea of abortion is such a huge debate because we have degraded the world so much that having a child, something that is such a blessing is now a problem. We got so scared of dying we have stopped living. Thank you for your videos. The wisdom I get from you I don't get even from my parents or even grand parents.

One small solution is to use barter system and reduce dependence on money wherever possible. No digital currency, only cash, if needed. Education, justice and medicine should be compensated by barter like giving security in terms of house food, clothing etc to the teachers, judges and doctors. whatever possible so as to decrease conflict of interest in these professions.

Technology is good if is use to make our life easier. If robots will replace people in hard working areas and boring jobs will be great, but if technology is use to make us slaves for the wealth of a few, and for mass destruction weapons that will be very bad. So technology is powerful tool, can be good or can be bad, depends how will be used.

Hi Jon, so how can city folks like us in S'pore do that if they do not have enough finances to get a plot of land in S'pore or overseas? We do not have villages to be retreated to or enough $$ to migrate to.

What we can do is try to connect with farmers . We were disconnect for a long time that why we have so many problem. If we can connect we can rely on each other. People who don't like farming don't need to do farming. They have to do what they like Then we can rely on each other.

@@JonJandaiLifeisEasy thanks Jon. There are emerging farmers in SG whom mostly rented spaces to sublet for hobbyist farmers. A small plot say the length of a Merc would cost about SGD300/mth, that is before all set-up costs and the lease could be a year or so before it goes to the one next in queue. The rest are commercial farms which are also on lease either from the Govt or industrial properties. Hence, it is not so financially simple for city folks in a small country to retreat like say from Bangkok back to villages or better still, to ancestral villages (given that they are privately owned) and can start a new lifestyle in terms of self-sufficiency and balanced life. Perhaps in future episodes, can you provide some guidance as to how can foreigners connect with local farmers and eventually settle down say in Thailand ($$ and legislations and permits or Govt ministries)? Realised some foreigners managed to do so because they happened to have spousal connection and also $xx to purchase a piece of land to do agriculture.
