“Huh, I wonder why everyone is so unhappy and unstable. Hey, why is everything run so inefficiently, doesn’t anyone know how to work together anymore? Why is everything falling apart? Oh well, just human nature I guess.”

    They teach you that civilization is what protects us from living in a state of omni contra omni. Then they teach you that that was a mistake and infact omni contra omni is the correct way to live. Then when you do that omni contra omni they put you in jail unless you are working with a rich person.

        There was a LinkedIn influencer whose schtick was “How to get rich using life lessons I learned by living among the Amish”, so I think it’s safe to say it’s been done.
