We totally can. It's just difficult to get past that some people want more than others even if that means harming them.
I'm not even against some people having a little more or less. Some people genuinely like subsistence farming and singing in the town choir and chilling in the woods. Some people like gaming computers or kayaks or rock climbing. Some people like cocaine, or rockets, or super computers. That's all fine. You don't need to push a rocket powered super computing gaming yacht on the peasantry fetishist. They don't want that and will not appreciate you for it.
Its the hoarding and bullshit I can't with. The inefficiency. The having so much at the expense of more existing. The militarized bullshit to keep the inequalities and inefficiencies. The arrangement of the entire world around them.
No real notes except I kinda dream of combining your first two examples into one lifestyle, I dunno if that's even really a thing but...
...I mean, also, like, if you can run fiber optic cables along the ocean floor, you should be able to run them into the woods.
I dunno. An honest simple life aligned with nature and enjoying computers should be a thing. Nat Geo explorers and people that run solar powered websites off of Pis and stuff know what I'm talking about lol.
I've gamed on a secret weed farm deeeep in the woods. The networking is a little iffy sometimes, but even with our current infrastructure it can be done. We had an electric water heater, TV, full kitchen, and game consoles, half an hour's hard hike and half an hour's drive to the general store in summer (more complex in winter), a couple hours to the nearest town. Latency spikes happened, weather happened, but the internet was there. We never had to go out for fruit or veggies, but didn't grow our own grains/carbs, and didn't have any meat/dairy animals.
You don't need to live by a script. Figure out the life you want. As long as it doesn't fuck with anyone else, you deserve it.
