Where else would you like to live? Why?

What’s one downside of the modern world?
Answering this a as a privileged, First World citizen: Overconsumption. There’s too much of everything. Too much work, too much information, too much materialism, too much waste, too much low-quality, low-vibration consumables, too much groupthink, too much fear, too much of you-name-it.

And no one questions the accuracy [...]

How can you answer a question like this? I don’t know what I will never do because I’ve never been pushed to a limit where I have said, “I will never do that.” So, I will never say that I will never do something.
How many of your friends would you trust with your life?
