I don't watch tv. I don't eat bread. I don't eat potatoes. I don't wake up with an alarm. I prefer using a standing desk. I don't eat out often. I do use a phone and computer but only because they're necessities. I actually do think our modern lifestyle contributes to mental/physical diseases, so I'm not arguing our current life is the natural way at all. Medicine is a blessing, but when the rate of diseases like obesity and diabetes keeps rising, as well as suicidal rates/depression, there's many reasons NOT to go further.
I'm not saying live like the Omish, but we should look at our ancestors and see what we should retain, rather than change in order to make our life better.
Props for philosophical fortitude, but even the Amish are not even close to living the way we evolved. _Using a horse for agriculture_ is not what we're evolved for, see?
An aside for a moment: are you doing a paleolithic diet? We did that for a year or two while our daughter was going through Crohn's - the transition to it just about killed me. But saved her. So I know where you're coming from.
To address your main point, though: the decision as to what makes life better is yours, for you, and mine, for me - and if somebody decides their life is better because they can go virtual, well, that's none of your business or mine. I have very little patience for the ashes-and-sackcloth approach: whether it's dressed in evangelical or treehugging clothing, Puritanism just gets my goat.
