Because everyone simply decided to participate in the prevailing social/economic system? I wish I could simply decide to opt out.

You can... You can move to a country that has the economic system you want or you can leave society all together.
You can't just leave and live in the woods like a hunter gatherer because there aren't enough people doing that to form an actual tribe.
You can't find 10 people dissatisfied with capitalism, on the internet??
Like Marc Andreessen said, Venezuela's great this time of year.
i don't want to live in the woods, i want a world in which people who make iphones don't kill themselves
What a strange condition. Why not I want to live in a world where people aren't hungry? What about a world without suffering? A world without conflict and scarcity?

If iPhone manufacturing is your only gripe with this world we find ourselves in, I'd say we've got it pretty good.

i want all those things. my point was "if you dont like the system, leave" is a bad argument
