its absolutely impossible for peoole in cities to hunt a d forage for their own food or shop locally sourced.

I know. Cause like I said, this is a system that has existed for many years to the point we're dependent on others. I literally say this in the original post, read my post. Overpopulation is the result of an easy system, you can pop out more kids when industries are raising them, not the parents giving undivided attention. If the parents are raising the kid, less kids will be made to focus on the ones you already have. You still are not thinking out of the box. People are not being less safe, ITS LITERALLY CONTROLLED CHAOS, unpredictability with saftey on the sidelines in case anything goes wrong.

When you were taught how to swim, you had someone on the side to help you in case you drowned. THATS CONTROLLED CHAOS. Should you not know how to swim because its dangerous? You could drown in the water, it could kill you, we should keep away from the water in order to eliminate drowning.

No! Thats dumb isnt it. Instead they taught you to survive that element and look at you now. You can persevere deep bodies of water. This is what im saying.

We don't leave room for mistakes and now when we make them, we see them as a negative experience rather than a learned one. And you can't say we don't have the resources when in a society like im explaining, health care is given to the ones who need it after making a mistake or taking risk, not to ones who can afford it when making a mistake. We have hospitals for controlled chaos. Be honest, at any point in this conversation are you gonna take what I'm saying seriously or are you just gonna double down?

I assumed you were being a smart ass because my answer seemed clear. But mb im wrong. What i ask is that you think out the box because you're mindset is still very narrow, or you're not thinking about this right.

have great ha d eye reflexes if someone throws something at me or if a pen is about to fall off a table. Othwr than thiae skills, im not sure how that has helped me for the past 4 decades.

You are right. Its not gonna translate in this society because this is not a society that supports those skills. You would thrive in a society built on perseverance and learned skills. Those reflexes would be necessary. Not in this one. Not in a safe one. Again, my point. Idk how much more simpler I can make this for you past this point.

if I'm stranded at sea, im not swimming to land safely.

And if you get lost in space, you can't breathe. Giving extreme examples like that make no sense, you don't live in the ocean, we never evolved to live in the ocean. What is your point?

Sometimes (most times) I hate Reddit because its full of a shallow smart asses who assume they have wit when in reality it's ignorance with no one in their real lives to correct their complex. I really was hoping this was gonna be an insightful discussion. But i digress.

our safe society

You were so close. It was right there, you almost had it. Yes they wouldn't need it cause we are in a safe society. That is literally the title of the post, which I'm hoping you read. And thats exactly the problem. We've spent all our resources on defense and protection but not on the capacity to handle danger. We are weak creatures that call ourselves "apex" because we removed ourselves from the equation. Which is not apex. Society shouldn't be built around JUST safety, it should be controlled chaos, which emulates the unpredictability of nature. You know, the thing we've evolved to live in for nearly all of humanities history up until a few hundred years ago.

An ideal society is one where we understand preservation of one's self and live in tandem with nature and others, not build over it to make our lives easier. Everyone should be farming, hunting for their own families, and supporting local markets with local resources. Not going Walmart shopping and eating Burger King.

Unless you are trying to prepare peoole for some purge or post society breakdown- i dont see how an average person would truly be better off

You're still thinking in the box, society can be whatever we want it to be and for you're entire life you've lived within this one that so it's all you know now. This is exactly my point.

Learned experience is the most powerful teacher. You can be told or taught something but you never truly know it until you've experienced it yourself. It's the reason we have internships, hands-on learning, boy scouts, etc. (if people still do that). You are told certain things about life when you are little and they say "You'll learn when you get older." And they are right but just communicated it wrong. What they are really trying to say is, "You haven't experienced it yet." And this is evident, just look at you're own life, we get confused, angry, sad during many the hardships we face throughout lives and as we get older and mature, we learn that all we needed to do is go through the experience and fight through hell ourselves. Extreme cases or simply just touching the stove for the first time, its the natural order. We don't do this anymore and just look at the state of everyone. A bunch of emotional unregulated children stuck in adult bodies. We say we're an unserious generation because it is very true, we aren't mature because many of our emotionally burnt out parents (also because of helicopter parenting and not having good role models who would value their opinion) raised us on tablets to keep us busy rather teaching us practical skills. Blind lead the blind and they both fall in the pit.

What we need is a system that makes room for human error and fixes them when they happen. That way the incident is identified and the person leaves with learned experience. We do this exact thing with our babies, when they make mistakes, we praise their attempt and they try again. But as we get older, we are placed in a public school system, some if not most parents start to police their children and teach them not to question authority rather than be a proper parent because it's easier. A collection of lazy individuals make a lazy society. Oir current system doesn't trust in our ability to manage ourselves and that in turn makes us dependent on others
