/sci/ - Science & Math

I know this isn't really science related, but we don't have a /phil/ and /b/ isn't really good at intelligent discussion.

It seems like most men want to do the same thing: explore, fight things, and do women. Most video games, books, and movies are all expressions of some part of this. Little boys run around in the woods pretending to fight monsters all the time. Then they grow up and shoot each other with paintball guns.

It seems like this is a natural way of life that is very satisfying but somehow we've become detached from it. I'm sitting on my couch in suburbia right now and there is nowhere to explore, no beasts to kill. There are certainly women around, though modern dating is its own topic. This sucks. There's really no action or adventure left.

Admittedly, modern society does come with certain perks. Widely available food and medicine come to mind, as does the protection of living away from the wild and its animals. But modern life is totally unsatisfying, to the point that we spend all of our free time trying to return to that image of adventure and action.

Why did we ever leave the jungle? This place fucking sucks. If I had the survival skills to go live in the jungle I would leave immediately. Modern society is a failure. We've traded safety for happiness.

Does anyone else feel this way? Can we start a "back to the jungle" movement?
