> I don't think many would want to go back to an agrarian lifestyle where you live in a one or two room brick cottage, walk everywhere, till a field with a very simple, small tractor, eat only what you grow seasonally, have two changes of clothes, and own basically nothing but the bare essentials to clean and feed yourself.

You could not possibly have made it sound more attractive and compelling.

Also, there's nothing really stopping you from giving up all your worldly goods and doing this now.
