The smartest, cleverest, healthiest people I know are my neighbors (Amish) who have no electricity therefore no TV, no cell phones, no social media and are committed to attending church, support the community with a work day a week, and support themselves farming ie hard labor. They eat what they grow or raise and they use herbal medicine unless it is something very serious. They may be committed to a life that seems to us quite restrictive, they do it by making conscious, informed and intelligent choices, not blindly following a cult leader. And in so doing, they have escaped all the evils of our modern technologically advanced body and soul destroying culture.
The Amish's way may come with a degree of insularity, that sometimes makes it difficult for domestic or adult-child relations that require intervention should outsiders need to provide it better than insiders.

How I wish I could join them.
