Most people will have a hard time accepting this is the truth, because they have become so hopelessly addicted to technology. Over time, I've realized Ted's vision IS how we should probably be living. It seems more sustainable than our current system.

Maybe in a country like Canada or America, where there is room to just go out in the woods. Most of the world will end up killing each other if they tried doing that, too many damn people. Without technology many would die, perhaps that is how it should be, idk. In another sense though I think humans should leave the wilds to regrow in peace. Humans can all live in the cities and let the world develop the way it will. There are ways to live in harmony with nature, but the amount of people will beggar the earth's natural bounty. Definitely a beautiful idea though, Wouldn't cause to much harm if a few people did it.

The problem with abandoning technology is that our own salvation could very well prove our doom. A better plan would be to achieve the required tech level to seed colonies. Then let those people do it. It would be the societal equivalent to mutation. Maybe those people die off. Maybe they are the only people to survive. The point is we need a few humans on a couple of other planets before we all wander into the coca fields never to return.
