Hey Magnus,
On the question of what is superior, living in the wild or civilization.
Why do you think living in civilization is superior?
I am of the mind that, it depends on the approach in inhabiting either environment, and the circumstances of each, and they're relationship to one another (i.e. the power one imposes on the other).
Living in the wild, a greater level of self-reliance can be established. There is a risk, however, for loss of territory; civilization has adequate power to enforce its policies within your territory, and exploit it economically. When I say 'wild', I don't necessarily mean a land unoccupied by foreign powers (rare or inexistant these days) but being entirely autonomous.
I also, do not mean, to live like a primitive person. Ideally, to cultivate the skills to exploit natural environment(s) and supply basic needs (shelter, food, water etc.). This is education, and ideally, more elements will be added to educate family members and friends. To hold a past together (no, it doesn't begin there). Developing culture in the wild. A shared identity belonging "outside" of civilization. There's alot of discipline in this. Again, it does not necessarily mean, to be outside of civilizations territory, just more outside, as opposed to being less outside, a countryside, for example, or even less outside, within a city.
From an energy perspective, perhaps it may seem like a great expenditure, when measured against the ease you can acquire this and that if you plug into modern economics, but, in the long run...
It's also beautiful. Mountains, colors, multiple species, rivers, and so on. Pleasant to the senses, unlike the saturated modern climates.
I must add: this desire shared by many, to run into the wild, and idolize the indigenous primitive tribes from around the world as superior, is retarded.
