How can you even begin to reject modernity when every minute fraction of todays world is patterned and controlled by it. You are completely dependent on its technology for quite literally everything you do. You are defined and controlled in body, feeling and thinking by its hard edged manifestations and by its electronics too. The built environment, TV and screens , especially I-phones and by all of our machines and gadgets - the Technopoly . Even by the hundreds of artificial chemicals that you ingest in food and drink, and breathe in too
You are completely reliant on it for your cross-country goat-herding trip. Perhaps you should revert to an old-fashioned pre-modern goat-herding exercise, as indeed many people in less developed countries still do.
What form of Intelligent Traditionalism are you going to embrace, taking into account that almost every aspect of the once historically dominant "traditionalism" was put in place by those who won the inevitable culture-war battles of their time and place. This includes the political battles which would have ensued re the "official" fabricated version of the life and teaching of Jesus in the Bible.
