and they learn to be capable adults, they learn to thrive in a community that supports itself, that cares for it's disabled, it's elderly and infirm. No unwanted children, no unwanted, uncared for old folks mouldering with neither respect nor dignity in anonymous care homes.
They make good, able farmers who don't despoil their lands with pollution, they are excellent craftsfolks and if their way of life was so un satisfactory then why do over 80% of their young become full communicants and participants within their traditional lifestyle ? Their youth are allowed, indeed expected, to run wild for a while, so they do get a chance to see what's outside their communities.
There are those who would argue that while our lifestyles are untenable long term, their's certainly is. Population control might become an issue in the future though, but I'm sure they'll manage to address that in due course. Their society isn't static or frozen, it just moves at it's own pace and shuns politics and outside control, and there are shisms and divides among them enough to mean that their choices are current, and not locked in like armed cults.
Okay then, Mod hat on.
We have had complaints about this thread.
I will reiterate the rules, "No politics, no religion, no racism", and ask that we all pay heed.
So far we've been pretty good, but it might be better to concentrate on the OP's idea and maybe focus on the skills they have that might be relevant to 'this' community instead of criticising their social structure.
