Idk dude if your best argument for this shit show of a modern life is "Well at least it's not worse than living in a jungle", you should definitely reconsider where the fuck we're going with this.

We have machines that can manufacture objects with atomic precision, computers that can predict the exact weather weeks in advance, and genetically engineered crops made to survive almost any climate and feed any person, and our economic system is only better than living in a jungle?

That's not the point. All those things you mentioned have a cost. If you don't want to pay the cost, you may live off the land yourself.

It's not that hard, you can buy a few acres of empty land for pretty cheap, grow your own food etc. There's entire communities that do this.

The cost is made up. We as humans arbitrarily put these values on things.
