Goatis overall life advice is weird
Been watching Goatis for a while. his diet takes are good like raw dairy/meat, sunlight, nature, . But his overall life advice honestly feels really contradictory to me.
A lot of what he says is basically:
“Just eat meat, go in the sun, be in nature, and everything else is slavery.” Which I understand that if you eat naturally and go out in nature you will live a much better life than working 10hrs a day just to make minimum wage…
But He talks like jobs, business, modern society, and making money are pointless or evil, and that this is the “worst time to be alive.”
But then… why doesn’t he fully live that primal lifestyle himself?
He still uses a computer, internet, headphones, YouTube, Telegram subscriptions, donations, also got a hair transplant. He makes money by reacting to people online and criticizing their lifestyles while still depending on the same modern system he talks down on.
That’s the part I don’t understand.
And honestly, money absolutely matters in today’s world. Yeah, money is technically a man made concept, but that doesn’t suddenly make it useless. Money gives freedom, comfort, security, opportunities, and access to experiences that people living fully “primal” lifestyles simply do not have.
For eg- if you have money, you can move somewhere beautiful like Switzerland or Iceland places with insane natural scenery, clean air, mountains, lakes, waterfalls, low pollution, safer environments, and overall high quality of life. You can own a nice villa surrounded by nature while still having comfort, healthcare, clean food, heating, transportation, and safety for your family.
You can travel the world, spend time with your kids, live near nature without needing to hunt animals every day just to survive, die from simple infections that are easily treatable today, watch your family starve during harsh seasons, or spend your entire life struggling just for basic survival (bunch of other things as well but you get my point) actually reduce stress long-term because your family is secure.
People act like modern comfort is automatically bad, but humans have always tried to reduce suffering and increase comfort. Yeah I know many are getting disconnected from nature and being in their homes all the time. That I do agree.
I feel like balance makes more sense:
Eat healthy natural food get sunlight, touch grass, get connected to nature more, avoid ultra processed garbage, stay active but also work, build something, make money, and create a comfortable life for yourself and the people around you.
You don’t need to reject modern society completely just because processed food and social media messed some things up.
