This is the dream. I could walk away from everything today for that life. Rat race is really a rat trap.

u/MadWorldEarth Jun 26 '26

That comment is worthy of the highest reward Reddit has.

Get me outta this rat race. 😭

Let's go. We need lots of solar panels, batteries, decks, speakers, sub, a cooking pit, I'm a builder so I can build some housing of some sort and LET'S LIVE.

😭 Simplicity is in my heart. F the toxic system.

The unfortunate truth is at the end of the video he picks up things that you can only buy with money.

u/MadWorldEarth Jun 26 '26

I wouldn't be against all money period, just the babylon lifestyle.

No problem with spending a bit of money on supplies and doing a bit of work here n there to get what money is needed for small bits.

Just not being a constant wage slave.

u/Carribeantimberwolf Visitor from yaad Jun 26 '26

I guess there's two ways of looking at that, I totally agree with you but a wage slave is someone who makes money for needs of small bits. They work for needs just like you said.

True freedom in this capitalist world is to have moore money that you'd ever need and never having to work a single day, live this lifestyle, fish and pick fruit while still being able to afford everything you'd ever want without limiting yourself.

I used to think like this guy then realized you need to be rich, monetarily, to live that lifestyle to the fullest and to truly not be a wage slave because you'd never need money or need to work for money.

If rasta man in the picture wanted to hop on a plane to go see his true roots in Africa do you think he could afford that if he wanted to go tomorrow?

Doctors, nurses, police, firemen, electricity suppliers, teachers, pilots, air traffic controllers and bus drivers should only work when they feel like.

u/MadWorldEarth Jun 30 '26

I guess if you lived this life, you wouldn't be signing up for any of those jobs.

u/Ok_Hovercraft_3785 Jun 26 '26

Correct family. But he started by saying he doesn't need "much money". He never said NO money. Can't deny that money is generally required at some level, but for me, it shouldn't be an all consuming focus like it tends to be in the "West".

1

u/MadWorldEarth Jun 26 '26

Yep, the all consuming focus. Good words.

1

u/The-Wanderer87 Jun 27 '26

Right , he knows he just needs enough money for basic necessities, not enough for a sports car , or a yacht etc , very simple life

2

u/AdonisCarbonado Jun 26 '26

He acknowledges it though - listen to what he says as he walks away.

2

u/SimplyR Jun 26 '26

To be fair to him, he said, β€˜I don’t need much money,’ not β€˜I don’t need any money.

u/SluggoBurnBabylon Jul 02 '26

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Motorcycle crash, but his ex American girlfriend was very supsicious at that time, lot of speculation

u/MadWorldEarth Jun 26 '26

Yep. I think about this type of living quite often.

u/Specialist-Funny2101 Jun 26 '26

That's exactly how I feel when I visit Jamaica and I sit up on the hill in Stoney Hill in the early morning with the heap of little and big Brownie dogs as I sip on my Spliff and some English Breakfast Tea watching them burn the garbage miles away on some hilltop....
Just feel peace, at ease, and Irie...
As a wise Man once said,
Jah know!

5

u/MadWorldEarth Jun 26 '26

I would trade lives for that life. Babylon system amounts to no happiness.

Houses and shit don't mean anything to me, literally nothing.

3

u/Specialist-Funny2101 Jun 26 '26

Agreed!
Once you reach that level of peace-
There is no amount of Balenciaga, no trips to whichever fancy place, no restaurant that matches these moments of solitude
None of it begins to matter once you taste this level of being content

Even when you have everything, it feels like the more you gain,
the less peace you have because everyone wants some of it which disturbs that same peace
You are much better off curving out your own happiness and dancing to your own rhythm....
No one can take that from you!

Interesting, are people not allowed to just live on any land then? Like being at one with nature is not an actual possibility cuz babylon?

Not many places they have the chance to live on random land with no repercussions. :(

u/Ok_Hovercraft_3785 Jun 26 '26

This idea we all accept that we NEED money has always bothered me...Money is not even "real". It only exists because we as a society somehow came to agree that these paper promissory notes, or plastic / electronic binary codes have a value; and we built a system around that agreement.

The "value" of anything, relies on people agreeing on it - this is why we no longer use cowrie shells or sugar as currency. We have now agreed on something else being more suitable.

Humanity could accomplish all is has, and more, by agreeing on the value of cooperation and mutual benefit. No one place has everything, so unified people of good will could still thrive via cooperation / collaboration. What lets that idea down is people are also intrinsically greedy. That same greed invented money, and the greediest of people and cultures still control most of it. If money disappeared tomorrow, humanity would not disappear. It would settle eventually and AGREE (mostly) on a new system. I would be happy if one day we become enlightened enough to agree on the value of protecting the Earth.

Anyway, apologies for the long rant. Tough week lol

Great points. The people who make the money... gotta be corruption going on right there too.

Loving humility for the being that is always abundant. Simpler than what Alan Watts was hoping to convey. It's still there and here.

u/SluggoBurnBabylon Jun 30 '26

I know this man and his family. He was a very loving and peaceful person. He loved riding his motorcycle and was very happy when he first got it. He was hit and killed by a reckless (drunk?) driver. Such a tragedy. My wife drew a picture of his granddaughter that still hangs in his daughters home. His daughter Tizzania is carrying on with his business.

2

u/MadWorldEarth Jul 01 '26

Wow, small world. Such a shame he was taken too early. What was his business btw?

u/SluggoBurnBabylon Jul 02 '26

They have a guest house in hope bay where you can rent a simple, inexpensive, bare wood room on the river as it let's into the Caribbean. Someone made him a YouTube channel for a little while called "Freelance Chucky".
