    Prosperity is an idea not a reality. You have prosperity because you created an idea called wealth. And with that idea comes another idea called poverty.

    Were the cavemen prosperous? OFC. If they weren’t then we wouldn’t be here.

    Humans didn’t create anything. They manipulate what’s already here. They make illusions seem real.

      By that reasoning there is nothing preventing you from being prosperous except your own greed.

      Go out into the wilderness and be prosperous like the cavemen. Having your tapwater taken away shouldn’t hinder you, those prosperous cavemen didn’t have the luxury of any modern amenities. Just the streams they could find and the food they could scavenge or kill.

      Abandon your greedy insistence on enjoying modern luxury and go prosper. You’re the only thing stopping yourself.

      And I’m sure you’ll have no trouble staying connected when you find the cellphone tree. After all, if humans didn’t create anything then everything must be naturally occurring. It’s just an illusion that modern technology requires creation of parts that could never exist naturally.
