What's It Actually Like to Be an Amish Person?
As humans continue to rapidly accelerate to replacing ourselves with
robot overlords or otherwise see if we can’t make Wall-E into a
prophetic mocumentary, one group of homosapiens refuses to go quietly
into the night. And, while it may come as a surprise to you, this group
is seemingly set to inherit the Earth, given their population is
exploding, whilst birth rates for the rest of us are declining to an
extent that most developed nations are already well past the point where
their coming generations will be significantly smaller than the
current. But not so for our butter churning brethren. We are, of course,
speaking of the Amish, who provide for us a stark contrast to our
fast-paced, egocentric lives, with their staunch and deliberate refusal
to get swept up in any of it. But is Amish life really as idyllic as it
appears from the outside? And just what is the reality of life as an
Amish person really like? Well, hitch up your buggy, and let’s walk
through the valley where they harvest their grain, shall we?
