No one ever taught me this until I saw this wonderful educator. I’m sure this will be news to many.
One of my fave people on YT. This guy in Thailand is super chill with multiple cheap gardening tip videos. He’s anti-capitalist after disliking his work visa in America, and also after seeing neighbors fall for farming systems that have farmers literally dying from exhaustion in what he calls a new kind of colonialism. Frequently breaking down complicated bullshit like that into lots of simple bits of wisdom in ways a child could understand, he seems to now live a happy life he calls his heaven.
I’ve been somewhat of a Jon Jandai fan since I discovered him almost a decade ago.
“Life is made artificially hard by the pressures of modern society, whereas we can satisfy ourselves with means that are in our control and that don’t leave us drained or beholden to financial instruments” is a really good thesis. The tldr of it, “Life is easy”, lends itself to being misconstrued.
