You seem a little aggressive here. Trying to go to a more primitive lifestyle now, in 2024, is largely futile. If it were, say, 500 years ago or 2000 years ago, "modern" life back then would have been simpler - and participating in society would involve many of the agrarian practices I've mentioned. With it comes horrible things like serfdom and slavery, too. Modern life has its benefits as well.
And I have met a lot of Amish people, they seem pretty content. They build furniture and barns. Drive horse carriages.
This is just my vision of an "ideal" life and more importantly an ideal _society_ - it's not as though I'm actively trying to move out to the woods or become Amish.
I just wish for less endless technological advancement and more self-sufficiency.
