      Optimizing for surviving an apocalypse rather than navigating normal 21st C life is certainly a choice

      It's not even realistic optimization Like I'm absolutely certain now that I think about it that accumulating a lot of "domain-specific knowledge" by looking things up while you still can would be far more valuable for the apocalypse than any six hour "resilience" lesson

      I did a thread before about this Ancient cultures survived by *already knowing* what plants were safe to eat and which ones were toxic, thanks to "experiments" carried out in forgotten ancient times generations ago

      If everyone had to just kind of blunder around discovering which plants are poison from scratch, we would just die out

      One of the books that played a big role in my childhood was My Side of the Mountain by Jean George, in the classic wilderness survival genre fantasizing about a kid running away from home to live in the woods But one thing that sticks out to me is how dependent on books he was

      Unlike less-researched books in this vein where the wilderness survivor just magically knows things or discovers things Sam is a nerdy bookworm, he looks things up ALL THE TIME His one-person survivalist fantasy is only made possible by generations of other people's research

      I mean, he openly "cheats" He's not really cut off from civilization at all, he's only a few miles from town, he comes back regularly to check out new books at the library whenever there's a new topic he needs to research

      It's a self imposed challenge, he's decided he can come back to town for information, just not to buy actual food or supplies, and that qualifies as "living off the land" (To be fair, he is succeeding at living without spending money, which he doesn't have, only a library card)

      It's interesting to think about I bet if you had a charged smartphone and Internet access but didn't have any other special equipment you might have a better chance of surviving in the wilderness than if they gave you $5,000 worth of gear but sent you out ignorant and alone

      Like they said that that Into the Wild guy wasn't even in that dangerous or barren a part of the wilderness He created his own challenge by going out there totally ignorant without any help He had dozens of options for not starving to death he just didn't know about

          Last I heard the plant he ate was actually food, it was just that years later the found out it can be toxic if you're already starving.

          He misidentified a plant and hadn't thought to figure out how to get help if he needed it beforehand

          I loathe everything about that guy/film/situation. The fact it's held up as somehow inspiring is as nauseating as eating the wrong plants.
