Watching it now...i wish they would of subtitled him though.&nbsp; The audio is low and combined with that accent its hard to understand him.&nbsp;&nbsp; I do get the gist of what hes saying though.<br /><br /><br />I particularly like his message about connecting with others and how society teaches us to be 'independent', but we are actually just dependent on money then instead of each other.&nbsp; Something to think about (tho vandwellers are a independent lot, this community itself kind of shows a need and desire to connect with others for betterment).<br /><br /><br />I think maybe he is under estimating how difficult it is to establish the life he believes people should have though in places like the US, who design a system to force you into complicating your life.&nbsp; For instance, you can't just go out next to the family rice patty field (not that such agrigulture markets even exist here in most of the US) and build a house, than take a half acre and plant a garden.&nbsp; The land must be purchased and taxes paid, codes followed etc.&nbsp; I do believe of course you can simplify greatly but it might not be as easy to do as he believes in other places.&nbsp; Probably a lot more doable than the 30 year 200000$ mortgage certainly.
