Interesting in the video when he mentioned Edo was a totally waste free society in the 18th century, shows it can be done if people want it.

I'm all over it for we-the-people, where these days it is up to us. It would be a new way to run our world, so it's a bumpy road, but the pleasures of doing the sorts of homespun things we need to resort to would balance out and maybe even outweigh the loss of glitz in our lives.

With older people losing purpose, what those grandpas do is such a great way to enliven them! I know for me, getting older, caring about the world is a quality-of-life saver.
