As someone who spent the later half of their childhood in a rural place, the solitude can be just as much a curse as a blessing. For example: it can be so quiet at night you can hear your heart beating in your ears. One night it might be tranquil, another night - unsettling. A city's diversity and variety of people can keep you sharp and contemporary. Solitude and slowing down sometimes means delayed information or education and your community there may be affected by that. I find the longer my family stays in rural areas, the farther behind and out of touch they become. This is just my experience and doesn't apply to every place. It's really just a preference. If you want to be Heidi's Grandfather, then the social aspect isn't a big deal.

I can hear my heartbeat since I am a child it’s nothing that distractes me , I love stillness and quietness since so many noises in the world bother me and annoy me. I do love meeting people but many are just noisy individuals. Natural way of living is as idyllic to me as it seems since I feel my best with it despite its more exhausting and physically than a city life maybe. Internal well being is most important, it’s just more nerve calming living in nature than in a city although when you are in nature everyday and internal still living in a city can be awesome as well 😂 it’s the balance. Both is great but can be annoying since life can’t always live the exact same way that’s unnatural feeling the same impressions over and over

Finland also has the cottage culture similar what you described. We call it "mökki". Similarly we also have cottages in the wilderness which anyone who is hiking, skiing etc can use to stay. I guess this is a very Nordic feature haha. I feel like Nordic people have a very certain relationship with the nature, we want to protect it and we respect it. It's always nice to return to our cottage; or arrive to a small forest hut. And it's almost like a ritual to leave it: leave it in better condition than it was when you came for the people after you (or you next time you arrive) to enjoy.

Into the wild was the first thing that came to my mind too. However, I don't think it's an accurate representation of living in nature. Most people who live in nature prepare better and are more mindful. Chris's story just shows how detached we (especially the younger generations) are from nature. We become adults without knowing how to survive. We become so dependent on societal structures that we would just die without them. We would die without them but at the same time they make us mentally and physically ill. The real question to me is: Why do we think we need this modern way of living?

Because it is programmed into us. We are born to parents who have been through the system and complied unquestionably. The most extreme example is war, why kill someone who has done you no wrong, your doing it for the elites. They use your life as capital all you are to them is a tool, they have no connection to you at all, but you serve their purpose without question. The first 5 years of your life you are taught by your parents, you learn the basics, how to communicate, how to walk, and be able to think. Then you go to formal schooling to be programmed and taught the discipline to be of use to the capitalist elite, eg, get up at a certain time, go to school each work day, two breaks in between work periods and then go home, it conditions you to be a productive worker for the economy. It’s worked very well for them for hundreds of years. Before that, farmers, shepherds, craftsman ect, worked just enough to sustain existence. They owned little, consequently, had little debt. Unless they were gamblers or had other vices that drained finances. The elites have cunningly constructed a society of material wants, forcing us through peer pressure or just plain greed to want more than we need, trapping us in an pit of deeper and deeper debt, my house has to be bigger and better than your house. Until people can be content with modesty, we are doomed to a life of debt, debt to the bankers and corporations, that milk us of time and money, a lifetime of debt.

It's not and it is kind of ill informed to make a video being critical of something based off a movie and having read JJR. There are many people who have lived in solitude in nature for various periods. I spent a summer living in nature, though only half of it was alone and a buddy was there for the first half before he had to leave to do white water rafting tours for a few months.

because it provides a systematic way for billions of people to be fed and perform a role in a bigger system. if everyone lived in nature, the natural ecosystem and native species will be eradicated quickly just to feed the population prompting the age of argiculture, and thus inevitably the society we already have today. living away from nature has removed responsibilities such as having to farm/hunt to be fed for the day, which gives more time for more focused stuff such as studying. It is difficult to make advances in innovation if one is living in nature hunting and gathering. a good example are the tribes in africa, none have developed ingenuine inventions that would rival the likes of newton or aristotle, people who are members of a society that eradicates the experience of nature to streamline the roles of the society.

You are so lucky to be born in Norway. I think this country has managed to retain the beauty of nature, as well as enjoy it without polluting with structures of civilization. Having immigrated to England in my early years, I yearn for hikes without the distant sound of cars, clean waters to swim or having no queues to reach a summit. Wales and Scotland come somewhat close to the remoteness and ruggedness Norway offers, but still, at the peak of a season you can't get away from masses of people. I don't blame them, they all want to get away.

I live in a village of 20 inhabitants in rural northern Spain. While the spot is very beautiful, it has its inconveniences and neighbors sometimes display strange or even hostile behavior at times. You can sense their frustration at not having had the means to leave and have a home in the city, like most of the people who left and now just visit on weekends and holidays. When I came to live here I was still very much a tourist, and failed to realize that real life everyday routine was a very different thing from those idyllic country escapades.

I was able to live in Denmark for 6 yrs covertly playing jazz piano in Copenhagen to make a living often in train stations once COVID hit but also legitimate gigs before COVID. I love how cultured the Scandinavians are and how well they respond to creative music! I was well taken care of in Copenhagen. But I couldn't help but notice how insulated from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune the youth of Scandinavia are. That's a Good Thing but very unique in the world. You see in Norway or Copenhagen or Malmö or Stockholm anyone from the 3rd world you meet will be a very lucky or a very privileged individual. What I'm saying is, the degree to which you've gotten lucky and won the birth lottery to have been born in Norway especially is truly astronomical. I mean as a 64 yr old American Jazz pianist who's spent a lifetime struggling to make ends meet in American late stage Capitalism let me tell you I'm a bit jealous too. And I love the wide eyed beautiful smart well educated youth of Scandinavia. But more than nearly anyone else young Norwegians are set for life. To not have Maslow's Hierarchy of needs hanging like an albatross around your neck wow.

Although Norway is a standout, they're not alone in their communal longterm pragmatism. I often wonder what it is that let's one group of people kindle such wisdom to a living model, and, and keep it afloat through the storms while most groups flounder. How large can their systems scale? What would happen if other countries adopted some of their ways! There are some obvious reasons why they develop and why it won't work elsewhere, but why do they protect and nurture their golden geese and eggs while America and so many others seem determined to devour the goose?

Interesting take on a topic I feel profoundly attached on. I'm from Italy, and my family had always been living in the countryside. Now, while during my teenage years I was often disappointed with my "side-by-side" life with nature, and wanted to become a more "city life" type of guy (because all of my so called "friends" of that period were living in the nearby city, and appeared to my eyes to be more cool and sociable than me, the country-rised guy), later, during my early twenties and mid twenties, a change of heart has happened inside me, has I begun to rediscover the natural environment surrounding my family's house (COVID has helped in that way, I have to honest). As such, I used to become more and more comfortable with places like countrysides, woods, isolated places etc, at the point that, if I stay for a prolonged period of time in the nearby city where I live my actual life, I start to need to go "into the wild". If I do not satisfy this need, I start to feel sad and dissatisfied. But, I later realised, this has nothing to do with escapism. I myself admire Chris McCandless's person and story and what he represents, and, personally, I don't think it has to do with escapism at all. In fact, we have to remember that, before he died, Chris wanted to "return to civilization", having understood the value of sharing, even the simplest thing, like an experience. So, this is a lesson that I myself had made personal, because now I often share my personal worldview about "living near the wilds" and my love for the countryside lifestyle. Said that, maybe the issue with the dycotomic opposition between "nature" and "city", has more to do with our relationship with ourselves and the other, than with the world. I mean, we don't have to necessarily cut of from the rest of society, for living a more direct relationship with the non-urban world out there. Instead, maybe it could be even more useful to living socially AND in contact with nature at the same time, than to simply "escape" from society. By the way, maybe modern "escapism " has more to do with our consumerist, late stage capitalist worldview, than with a sincere desire to rejoice our relationship with the external world. In other words, it could be just another way to "consume" experience and "go to vacation", than a real, radical life choice. Nevertheless, you have correctly said that life within nature is difficult, and that's true (I remember some winters, when I was still a kid, in which it snowed so hard that we remained without electricity for days ahah), but precisely because it's hard we may should learn to live inside it not for isolate ourselves, but to build more significant relationship between us. And with climate change approaching, maybe we will be forced to re elaborate our place in nature and our relationship with it. After all, we cannot live estranged from nature, and at the same time we cannot live without others, so, finding a way to satisfy both needs maybe is the key to build a more sustainable and nature - aware world. But this "way" may needs a cultural change of mind inside us, before manifesting. Surely the "hytte" culture is a very good starting point to reflect upon this, so, thank you for having it shared! (Sorry for the bad English ahahah).

That is because it is the natural state of us. Cities promote so many things that we have historically not chosen. I very much like the thought that it is when we are in nature and especially alone in nature that we can be who we truly are. That is the only time we can be 100% authentic. Even f one person turns up, the slightest change will occur from the reaction of knowing you are being observed in any form. Cities dupe people into thinking that they are normal, and the constantly stimulation, artificial light, and the loneliness of being a single face in a hoard of many . These are far far from natural and they have profoundly negative effects on our mental health when prolonged

@@TheFamousMockingbird I absolutely agree with you. I mean, we are born, and had liven for thousand and thousands of years into the woods, savanasa, endless fields filled with every kind of life-forms. It's not so "mad", "edgy" or "hippie-like" to say that we are naturally striving for these kind of environments. Urban landscapes are much more "alien" to us than non-urban spaces, and, in fact, this contradicts the common statement that nature is the "Other" in absolute terms. Not so "otherly" if we consider our entire history on the planet.

You exchange one set of problems for another. Your focus changes from earning a paycheck to get food, to bare survival to get food. Exchange city/town/suburbs with homesteading. While towns are different from place to place, they generally don’t require you to make everything yourself as much as homesteading would, (public services for everything are also gone.).

IMO you exchange: overinflated stress and worry that only breeds more stress and worry -because your calibrations are completely out of whack in cities where you don't have control or knowledge over 99.9% of your environment...where, for example, another persons whim can cause you your job, which unduly strains you and your relationships...because your nerves and relationships are weak at best, and no wonder -you've never really experienced anything actually challenging or dangerous or exciting(things that build character) that needs your attention right now...whether alone or together with friends. You have no real bond with yourself, your environment or your friends. for: the calm self-assuredness that comes from actually overcoming graspable, understandable issues and obstacles with obvious connections to what you need and want...struggling for days to build an extention to your abode so that you can store your firewood more practically, sustainably and in larger quantities will fill you with a sense of purpose and self-reliance and will contribute to a meaningful existence. But not only that, it's an unmistakablr signal to your friends that you're a useful person, and if someone helped you(especially if there were mishaps or unforseen struggles that you overcame together), this is the kind of activity that builds strong, lasting bonds. ------- _City life is beyond unnatural to humans and is only tolerable with regular recalibrations of the nervous system._ _Just look at the state of politics(and any other big current "issues") in the west, neither side has any kind of grounding in reality whatsoever._

In America, owning a home in general is a luxury, let alone somewhere away from the demanding repetition of society and euclidean thinking.. Something about trees give off an energy and they comfort the mind.... Living in an area without trees, where all the suburbs are copy pasted and everything looks dull and there's a constant buzz from electrostatic and traffic is maddening. I feel trapped and I crave an eternal escape. But everything is too far and requires gas money which requires more work and more repetitions; schedules that demand our lives from ourselves. I feel like as I have to keep earning my keep in order to get by in society, more is demanded from me and that becomes the new standard. People expect more and care less as time goes on. All I want is to get away from everyone. A place where I can be at peace inside and outside. This apartment is so cut off from everything that I can only ever get away on weekends. Otherwise I can't afford not to isolate inside the rest of the time. It's unhealthy. Humans are not meant for this.

i appreciated the commentary on recklessness. i got from this a conversation on healthy balance and coming back to reality. Escapism is just running away, kindof like burying our heads in the sand. But with healthy balance we can have an inner stability that allows us the choice and not a forced decision. Life is hard inherently, maybe less so than it used to be but that is relative. Running away will not fix what ails us. Its facing these moments of pain so that we can get the most out of this experience, the moments of pain are part of the experience as surreal as that is because it will end someday for all of us in our due time. So welcoming that into the equation of life will i think allow us to shed a degree of ego and embrace life just a little bit closer. Beautiful video

Hytta is the perfect way to balance your life! Especially with the amazing nature of Norway! I love the law of free roam in Scandinavia very much! This should be human right everywhere, but most people are irresponsible and polute everything they cross, so it’s better that this law is not in power everywhere. The minimalistic and back to basics philosophy of having a hytta is a very constructive way of appreciating not only the simple things around us, but also the comforts that modern life offers us. Especially it helps to understand, how to use the modern opportunities for good and not being slaves of them. Amazing video!

I’m glad I stumbled upon this video, and to my surprise, you were talking about living in Norway. I moved to Norway with my family about 16 years ago. I had always carried an image of an ideal place in the back of my mind. Interestingly, my path took me from Sri Lanka to the United States, then to Germany, and finally to Norway. We managed to purchase a small farm on an island with just over 200 inhabitants in southwest Norway. When I arrived here, I recalled the picture I had been carrying all along, even though I hadn’t made conscious choices toward that end. Not a single day goes by without me appreciating where I live. I’m retired now and spend my time at home tending to household chores and going for walks. There are some drawbacks to living so far from the city and not being able to interact with many people. Additionally, the high mountains to the south block the sunlight from directly reaching us for four months in winter. However, I’ve learned to accept these things, as the positives of living here far outweigh the negatives. They no longer bother me because I can’t do much to change them. The best things in life are free if we choose to change our perspective, let go of expectations, and accept things for what they are rather than questioning them with “what ifs.” I believe I’ve finally found my home.

If i didn't have responsibilities id go off into the wilderness and never come out. I had to talk myself out of it multiple times already. I travel around America, hiking, backpacking etc. I have tons of experience being out in the wild for long periods of time all over. Being able to stay in the wild and not have to go back to civilization would be heaven on earth for me. Not having to see another person would be the ultimate happiness. Even today i purposely find places as remote as i can to minimize my chances of running into "civilization". The only negative is i cant stay in one place. Im a nomadic person so id always be on the move. If i ever make enough money i plan to spend years hiking the major trails such as the AT, PT, continental divide trail, etc. Sadly i need to make money, and other ppl rely on me so for now im stuck going back to civilization but one day ill head out into the wild and nobody will ever see or hear from me again

Czechs have the same concept of cottages: almost everyone has a small house, often without electricity and running water, to escape into. Our experience and popularity of "chata" or "chalupa" has raised in the times of the 20th century socialism, political oppression and inability to create life you wish for in the everyday life. Our "chata" rooted as a true form of escapism, but stayed as a place to recreate even in the times of democracy, perhaps coming hand-in-hand with the desilusion from the fact that capitalism won't save us and will not in fact serve as a antidote to the damaging effects of socialistic Czechoslovakia.

Thank you for this video, I was completely drawn in to your exploration of the topic and the personal story that connects you to it! I want to bring up an additional aspect to this that I have not yet seen discussed much: I am a late-diagnosed autistic adult and feel besieged and ill-at-ease whenever I am in situations where there are many people around me. I have the incredible fortune to be able to live in a fairly isolated small mountain village in the Swiss alps and work remotely from there, which gives me the freedom to go into town or visit a larger city only when I feel up to it. Being in busy, crowded, overwhelming surroundings is not a necessity for daily living for me, contrary to what many others (autistic or not) are having to contend with. We are just getting to the tail end of the summer holiday season now. The local area has experienced a resurgence of holiday makers and day visitors after the lull in activity in the previous years due to Covid. This summer particularly I was reminded again what it means for me to be able to hop on the local bus that takes us to the nearest town when there are maybe 5-10 other people on it, most of whom know each other by sight, if not by name. Compared to having to sit on the same bus with 30-50 visitors who make the whole experience noisy, overwhelming, and just generally unpleasant. Same goes for the experience of going to the local grocery store or stopping off for a quick refreshment at the nearby café. I am not a misanthrope, in fact I really enjoy interacting with visitors, learn about what they have been up to while here, what other places they like to go on holiday, and so on. And I totally appreciate that communities in the alps of course benefit hughely from tourism financially. (There are actually voices starting to get louder in politics saying that we should abandon remote villages, especially if they are getting struck by natural disasters such as landslides and floods as in recent years, because it costs too much to maintain the infrastructure such as roads, electricity, etc.) So, while I understand the "necessity" of mass tourism and have of course also benefitted from the opportunity to be a tourist in the areas of the world that I have travelled to, the presence of large numbers of people in areas that are simply not built to accommodate them easily (and cannot be adapted to do so because that would destroy the very essence why people want to come to them in the first place) is something that cannot be ignored. I commend the Scandinavian countries for the fact that it looks like they have found a good balance between the desire for people to travel and go on holidays outside of the major population centres on the one hand and the preservation of the remoteness of the other parts of their countries on the other. My actual point I am trying to make, however, goes one step further: We should make a concerted effort to preserve remote areas for people like me who have a hard time coping with the hustle and bustle of towns and cities. The technical advances in remote work makes it more and more feasible to live in remote areas, but if this becomes the big new trend and everybody starts to do it, it will mean the end of what this option brings to people like me. tl;dr - mass tourism in remote areas is a threat to their function as sanctuaries for people who have a hard time living in towns and cities due to overwhelm - let's preserve as many of these areas that we can, while allowing the desire to visit nature to be satisfied as well, but maybe channelled into only a subset of places

If you're a Buddhist then civilization isn't a material construct. It's also not an economic or political construct it's a measure of how generally enlightened the society in question is. The yard stick of enlightenment is quite simply compassion and magnanimity towards humanity and nature. It's how well said society is able to nurture and be a beneficial steward for nature and all beings in our sphere of influence. Just because we have high technology doesn't make us civilized.

You're very correct. I'm from Quebec, Canada, and a lot of people have cabins there, too, so a lot of us have spent time in the "North" in more forested areas. I think that what's missing from "running back to nature" is that humans evolved to live together, and most people are way better off that way. I think that a solid alternative is ganging up with friends and family to get access to lands and build small ecovillages. That way, you're not alone, you have support, you have access to so much more skills through other people, etc. And of course, you can collectively decide on what to focus on, technologically-speaking. How reliant on tech you want to be. Personally, I want to use technology and stay somewhat connected with the world, but build infrastructure and skills that could last and help us survive should technology no longer be available. (I think that widespread societal collapse is likely this century.) And I think that this kind of preparations should include a network of people spread across a fairly wide geographical range. Because we're somehow all tied together, we all have strengths and weaknesses, and ultimately, we need each other.

We have two indifferent stereotypes that we call einstøing ( keeps to himself ) and grønnskolling ( kinda wierd ) and for those types of people they don't need that constant social situation ( like ape tor or eirik grankvist who builds the cottage ) and there's nothing wrong with this type of artistic solitude even when they don't make KZbin channels. To keep cultural heritage alive is an art. To homestead, preserve food etc is the hope of survival. Especially for those with neuro divergence that we don't consider " sick " but they don't thrive in the cities and should not be forced into a modern world they don't consider peaceful and sustainable.

Fun fact: the way you pronounce hytta in Norwegian is exceedingly similar to how you would pronounce the German ‚Hütte‘ in Swabian - a southern German dialect. The meaning also seems to be very similar. While Hütte can be translated to cabin, it can also be used pejoratively to refer to a cabin or even house as a (rundown) shack.

To point out, current statistics suggest 57% of world's population now live in urban environments and by 2050 that will rise to 68%. In many developed countries the number is already a lot higher eg the UK closest to your Norway reports a figure as high as 84% or South Korea is 81%. Generally: Employment, Education, Healthcare, Cultural & Recreation, Retail & Shopping, Public Services & Infrastructure all tend to favour Urban > Rural areas that might describe why people migrate to live in Urban areas in preference to Rural areas. Considering your question: "Have you ever dreamed of escaping into the wild, leaving behind the chaos of modern life for the serenity of untouched nature?" At a guess most people probably crave a temporary holiday to rest, recuperate and recover, by living life in the "slow-lane" before hopping back into the thick of the action of modern, fast, noisy, busy and very complex worlds of urban daily-living? It would be interesting to hear the thoughts of the fewer people who do live rurally and why they do? For the record, and with sincerest feedback: Do work on your vocal delivery as the vocal fry sound is not healthy for the vocal chords (vocal strain) and working to change that pitch should be healthier ie more varied voice registers just to be aware of. Thank you for the absorbing video. What might your favourite activities be in rural areas? To fill one's days with activities invested with meaning seems to be the general answer imho...

Well complete transparency in collective areas is important…. Escapism can be seen on both sides in my opinion to escape in solitude isn’t much different than being in a group pretending your ideas or thoughts don’t exist while you give in to the new norms other people decide for you… that it’s self is also a form of escapism from true self. And when we talk about ideals of what is good for environment and all more collective wholistic ideas are not really played out. There is just a front face of doing no what’s right… you can enable a person or truly help them in ways to learn to thrive… also when it comes down to integration of people out of societal norms there must be more endeavors to truly understand why this is a thing that is consistent. Things that seemingly are the good done behind close doors in labs actual do affect the whole picture and blaming certain types of people or forcing them to even more so abandoned who they are does not bring sustainable happiness, economies, or evolution in larger ways for more involved in what we call existence.

Even a small house would be a blessing. Its quite impossible for most of us over here. Quite privilege to own one if you do. Is it more common to own one or is renting them out, sharing, or the company method more common?

I really like my area of the world up until recently. Its just the right amount of city and rural. You drive 30 minutes one way you are getting more rural. Aint much out there except beautiful hiking trails and homes spaced out. You drive 30 minutes the other way and you will be in the downtown of a city with skyscrapers and In the last 15 years it really got to be a nice place. I would say somewhere between 2015-2020 was peak. But now my area is in the top 5 most moved to cities in the nation. Its pretty horrible. About to go on a rant here hahah- All these people moving in. Forests are getting cut down left and right for these horrid looking homes that are super expensive and very very low quality. The traffic is getting so bad. I guess its nice having all these new business open up and things to do. But its changing so fast you cant keep up. I never would have in a million years ever thought this many people would want to move to ky state. I personally dont see the appeal too much after visiting other areas. Its alright but with how fast its changing all the pros I talked about are quickly going away. Plus there arent many good jobs or affordable housing. Change is part of life. I like the idea of the growth. But its so fast and its such low quality. I wouldnt mind houses being built if they werent such ugly dystopian eyesores. The sprawl and congestion is just a headache. Idk how people live in major urban centers.

hey I know its a metaphor but Wolves and most predators DO waste food/kills despite it potentially depleting pray levels! This in turn allows smaller predators and omnivores to clean up, and even herbivores use it to get a free meal / minerals. on 1 single kill there can be 10's sometimes a 100 different species of insects etc like cadaver beetles and even butterflies to feed on. Orcas are known to kill huge wales only to end up eating the tongues or sometimes livers leaving 95% of the body to rot and sink to the bottom or beach.

It seems difficult to appreciate our dependence on nature when we live in a sad world that is, in many ways, constructed by the human mind. L. E. J. Brouwer's Life, Art, and Mysticism, a booklet summarizing some of his early philosophical beliefs, contains words that resemble thoughts I've had but seldom found expressed elsewhere. Some of its religious and spiritual content is missed on me, but he offers a beautiful romantic critique of humankind's relationship with nature. As I understand it, his advice to the individual distraught by the so-called sad world is to turn towards the self and to lead a simpler life. I should talk to my Nana about Into the Wild, as she's a fan of both the book and the movie. I'll definitely be sharing this video with her. Thanks for the upload!
@S.M.G.20

Not only just the religious and spiritual content that missed on you, but everything in it. Brouwer did not accept the existence of the external world altogether, as he believed that these were all creative constructs of his own mind. To him, 'things' or 'individuals' so called, were elements of past experiences (themselves mental-constructions) that got estranged from experiencing-subject. And when he exerted free-will (that is extended his own consciousness) onto these things/individuals through isolated causal-act, that was where cooperative causal-act began (e.g. talking to friends, enjoying nature, nurturing animals, etc). He called these three successive phases 'the exodus of consciousness from its deepest home'. To him things as such can never be beautiful, this includes Nature as such as well, for they are only mere-things we desired because they are estranged from our experience, and therefore can always be brought about by means of cunning acts, by bringing about sequences of events leading to our desired aim. So where can we find beauty in the world. His advice: "Having contemplated the sadness of this world, look into yourself. Within you there is a consciousness, a consciousness which continually changes its content. Are you master of these changes?...and aren’t these within your power? Or is the motto “Control your passions” only an empty phrase?" He believed that our most basic intuition is left to free unfolding and should never be bound to this exterior world called Nature.
@isolatsi
@isolatsi 4 ай бұрын
​@@S.M.G.20 Although this is characterization more faithful to his writing, and you've clearly taken the time to read it, none of this conflicts with my understanding. I don't suppose that Brouwer was writing about a nature beyond his mind any more than he believed that one's thoughts could enter another's mind by way of language. Consider this passage from his lecture at the International Congress of Philosophy: "Apart from the soul every expose on the sense and the essence of life is a soliloquy, and every discussion about the pluralified mind is a game of dialectics in the arena of the collective hypothesis of a collective supersubject experiencing an objective world which exists independently of the supposed human subjects that appear and disappear in it, which remains when all supposed human subject have vanished, and would be, even if there had never been human subjects called into existence." In no sense do I mean to suppose that nature is any less constructed than the individual is to their conscious self; there's nothing to the disagreement between us that can't be suitably explained by the confusion inherent to this hypothetical dialectical game.

When I was in high school my parents sent me to canoe camp up in Canada each summer where I eventually qualified as a guide. Then ten years later I returned to guide in the same region at an older more well established camp since the other camp had gone out of business. I was astonished that the new camp bored me, and that I found my teenaged assistants annoying and really worse than the young kids we were guiding. So in a sense nature came to bore me. In the future after that revelation I never again went camping for more than a week. What I really enjoyed was getting paid to go to sea in the merchant marine where you’re at sea but have all of the comforts of home aboard the ship so I did that for 8 years.

@@LilyGazou As the section chief at the age of 27 I came to find my youthful assistants annoying at this one particular camp because they always seemed to get people who were really a year too young for their jobs. So in other words the CITs were pretty much useless. Then also the guide I got was too introverted to be of any help with disciplining the kids. What you get typically by way of help is skinny 16 year olds who paddle too fast but are useless at carrying heavy loads such as canoes or wanigans packed with canned food. But then if I called them on their shit, being an irascible ex submariner, they would pull shit like breaking down crying in front of the camp director. I also resented the no alcohol policy since of course sailors are continually retiring to the E club to engage in marathon elbow bending sessions and admire the strippers and so forth. I simply became too much of a degenerate to be working at youth camps not to mention being a mean bastard, at least to the average 16 year old. I will leave the camp un-named since it is a quite famous Canadian canoe tripping camp in business ever since 1892. Grey Owl even worked there over 100 years ago.

Hei på deg. You are smart and beautiful and as usually Norwegian somewhat wealthy,.... I guess. So the "approved" citizen in our country has a relatively safe lifeline to worklife and civililization. This plus this the extraordinary access we (most of us) have to a "hytte", allows us to have this duality that you mentioned. Yet there's an underclass. Or rather several of that. Some few live on the streets. And some without the duality that you mentioned, but just as a marginalized existence. Now if for instance you should wake up to the reality that those supposed protections of those vaccines often rests on a fallacy of assumptions, and if you should you get vocal about that(?) in a way not approved by the majority, then get ready the get KICKED OUT in Norway. Not out of Norway. But. You' no longer may have your safe job, network or maybe even access to hytte. No, just to be clear, I don't wish upon you such an outcome . But try to learn as you live, beware of societal prejudices, be moderate in your assertions and still be in the same mild manner that you are, and you will be fine. By the way I'm a little older than you by the looks to judge: I also saw "Into the wild". The young boy refused the duality totally. He would have had to educate himself into nature in a way that was but inaccessible to him. An Indian tribe might have helped him. You really need to know your land and know how to distinguish toxic plants from edibles. And as a "civilized society, the same responsibility rests on us in our own consumption patterns. We need to learn about how market driven forces peddles us unhealthy stuff as well. Both as foodstuffs and medicines.

In other videos the narrator's speech can be so caught in a thick accent, Cockney or Indian, that I can't understand it even though it's supposed to be in English. I find that very irritating. Perhaps it is that different people find different things bothersome.

"Kant's racism"??????? !!!!!! Ammm.... EXCUSE ME??????????? Kant wasn't racist, he was a humble man living and teaching kids in a small german town. We're clearly dealing with social engineering in the world of philosophy, it is activally discouraging people to read the works of great thinkers by defaming them in the first place. His areas of expertise were time, space and the possible scientific proof of God. He couldn't care less abouth the petty, mundane stuff that we, citizens of the XXI century care about. Skin, bed issues, all that was beneath his concern, he always aimed for the soul, not the body. And as for Rousseau, that guy has abandoned all his children in orphanages, by throwing them in the wheel. So much for the 'social contract', right? All this just proves that human beings are extremelly flawed and sometimes even hypocrite. But we, the riff raff of the XXI century, demand perfection, not humanity. And that's why we are angry and miserable, nowadays. And we don't even know why. I know this wasn't your episode's subject - very important video , by the way- but that so-called 'essay' infuriated me. I felt that I needed to defend Kant.

Historical relativism strikes again. We can’t ask people to be fair with information at all levels. Many people use information to confirm their beliefs. Still a good video despite this, like you said.

Stopped watching after ode to Rousseau. He mislead so many with his obvious rubbish about "noble savage" although being proven wrong by other philosophers and the history of mankind...

I don't think when we take a walk in nature that we are actually seeking Nature, unless we don't understand what it is. I believe that we just try to escape our urban world, others, and the only other alternative is nature, by default. But Nature is actually a horrible place .

I know what he means in that it is a heartless, cutthroat world out there in nature. Nature doesn’t care about you and despite its beauty, it’s a world of death, pain, blood, and chaos. And I say that as a lifelong outdoorsman and nature geek.

That part threw me off too. I think if more people were allowed to try to build sustainability, it would take burden off all the robotic mainstream society people.
