ITT: Books about rejecting city life Anonymous Fri Jun 11 00:05:27 2021 No.18429806 [Reply] [Original]

I go to uni in buffalo, ny so a lot of my friends are from NYC. I'm becoming immensely sick of these pompous cunts. They unironically talk down to and about people from suburban/rural areas, and they regularly imply that anyone not from a city is uncultured, simple, etc. Problem is, once you talk to these people it becomes incredibly clear that they've really never done anything outside of visiting a restaurant or riding the subway. They often don't travel (they claim the city has all they need), they rarely have hobbies outside of IPA drinking or basketball (other sports cannot be played within a city), and they are entirely clueless on anything relating to nature (this includes any hiking, fishing, boating, etc.)
Starting with Walden, post books about rejecting this vapid but pretentious worldview

Not exactly about rejecting the city but maybe look into Timothy Morton. I think it's a great way of framing human's relationships with cities and nature.

I'm currently reading through Guattari's Three Ecologies. I'm not far enough into it to recommend it

I didn’t read past pompous cunts. But considering you’re likely an undergrad, and your friends probably are too, I’d actually just recommend taking it easy. They’re going through a pretentious “living in the city” phase that I think a lot of upper-middle class rodents go through at some point in young adulthood. They’re probably just even more smug about it given how they’re going through particularly early. Just chill out, have a drink, and remember that it’s pretty common for people to feel superior to others at certain points in their life for any reason really
