    They probably didn’t wake up at 3 am every night for weeks because the dread overcame their exhaustion.

    Fun fact, primitive people all sleep great because they have no artificial lights or schedules messing with their circadian rhythm. (And unexpectedly in two separate bouts every night)

    Would people die of dumb stuff? Ok maybe we keep like, antibiotics.

    Yeah, but that’s a bit of a slippery slope, isn’t it? Maybe we still need modern industry, but just in a way that facilitates an active, nomadic lifestyle without many distractions.

      But people would still need to work the industry. So… are we like taking shifts?

      Am I going to have to take a semi-annual journey to the copper mines? The paper mill? The iron works?

        Yeah, it would have to be something like that, I guess. It couldn’t be too frequent or it’d be hard to fully enjoy the bog, since I think the lack of structure is a big part of the appeal here. Maybe it wouldn’t even be a seasonal thing, but rather semi-random. Press gangs in lion suits?
