Adulting is such a horrible pain in the ass, but the alternative is far worse.

@Romaq is it? We are told it is, but would it be really bad to unplug entirely from modern society and live away with no money or modern concerns? Life might be shorter, but once again is that necessarily bad?

I’m genuinely asking for your viewpoint here because I’m not convinced that sticking with painful normal is the best thing for us.

I may be misreading what you said, but I am assuming you are saying we should "go back to a simpler time". Let me know if I am wrong here.

There's a huge gulf of possibilities between the painful, unsustainable normal and abandoning modernity, and I am pretty convinced the best outcome is between those two and probably way closer to the former than the latter. In particular, giving up modern medicine or science is neither necessary nor a remotely good idea.
