Someone with a remarkably romanticized view of what living a life “..roaming the wilds finding food on plants and hunting wild animals..” is really like.

Also someone who is male, and not the one doing the very hard work of preparing those wild vegetables (for example, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassava>, which would make these women shugilli!) and bearing children over and over again.

If the modern world is so terrible and education merely makes you a slave to Da Man why aren’t you out living a life as a ‘wild free human’?
