Unlike what you might think, Amish communities are growing. They've never been bigger than today at a quarter million people. Average Amish family has 7 kids, so no wonder.
Amish people have to give up phones, television and electricity. That might sound like hell to you, but it's not that bad. I too, used to think that living like this is unthinkable and that I would never be able to be happy after growing up with video games, series and internet. Even right now as I type this, I know I would suffer if I were to be deprived from these things.
In the beginning it would definitely be a struggle for us since we are used to extreme dopamine stimuli, but with time, our bodies will adapt to the decreased stimuli and you will find a lot more joy in life. No matter the time in history, no matter the forms of entertainment are available, the average human will always maintain a steady level of "happiness", if your brain receives a lot of stimulus, then it will become more numb to it. If it receives less, then it will become more sensitive. It's that simple. It will be like going through the most extreme dopamine detox and reset your internal system.
Okay, but even if losing the technological conveniences won't make you unhappy, what is the point of doing this?
1) Going Amish is basically your only shot at marrying a white virgin teen who will be a loyal and submissive housewife in today's society. There are other ways, but this is the most realistic one.
2) They are totally self sufficient and have a strong sense of community. They are totally unaffected by the outside world's politics. Ideal society.
