What culture sent wounded elders out to forage for berries?
do you see any other houses out there? My man's willing to forgo work (not even just capitalist work for a bastard, just work) to be out there in the wilderness.
Good luck with the bears!
meme says 9-5 until you're 65. so i think they are specifically talking about capitalist work for a bastard. idk, I guess we're not on the same page about what the purpose of "work" is and if survival counts as work
i think OP just wants a society that doesn't value work for profit and doesn't view survival as something to be meted out by an upper class based on how you please them, but maybe im projecting.
sure, but I'm emphasising "world looks like this" more. If op gets their wish, survival won't be meted out by an upper class, it'll be meted out by the mercy of bears and other animals, the mercy of the seasons, and the mercy of the ability of their surroundings to consistently provide them with food.
