> I do miss it, and this isn't about AI or anything, but mostly nostalgia of a simpler time, but it isn't that simple as an adult or to make this a full-time endeavour and just live there.

To me it's about disconnecting from an over connected world. It exhausts some people who need to decompress in peace and that is hard if you live in the middle of a noisy city. Personally, I love being in the country side where there are little to no people around and all you hear are the sounds of nature. It's serene.

> Nature is fucking harsh, people that are crying about AI getting them unemployed or changing their professions are pretty much mostly softies...

No one is talking about living off the land. There are governments and markets in the country side. The expense of some goods is offset by the low cost of living. I fully support peoples decisions to live where they feel most comfortable. If that means a city person like me has to subsidize it, then so be it.
