What are your options? Are their places you can go if you want to live outside of modern society?

You can become homeless. That is well outside of society, but still in it. Although you have to start stinking, doing drugs (make no mistake, whatever you hear is a lie... all homeless people have one drug, even if its liquor, they are ALL ADDICTS no joke).
Or you could just become a shut in musician on welfare like I was for 5 years.

I'd say homeless people are still very much a part of modern society, and at the mercy of it in a very real way. Perhaps if you were homeless and in the wilderness that would be different.

I don't know. At the mercy of it, yes, affected by and affecting? Yes. But they can dissapear and reapear in society at will. I don't think their is any less of a way to not be part of society and still be with people than that.
Unless you want to become some shutin musician on welfare like I was for 5 years.

Horgan: The way I distinguish between science and philosophy is that science addresses questions that can be answered eventually. Somehow, you get consensus. Philosophy addresses all the other questions that can't be answered.

You want someone to inquire more details about this now infamous 5 year period of welfare don't you? Very well, if you must, please proceed.

Thanks for your minor effort of unspellchecked input.
I vote for antarctica. It'll be relatively free from the poisonous clutches of human society until it collides with other continents in some sort of future gondwanda. By then though the entire earth will be the corrupt heart of a of a more vast space network, each square foot of the earth efficiently packed microchip style with miniature shrunken cities, all vastly more corrupt and evil than los angeles. Just go to planet 9-11-b or any other unpopulated (but inhabitable) one then.
I devolved into a complete idiot, which is particularly sad because I used to be a genius. Surely that can't be disputed.

Not really an attention grabbing thing. More of a self mockery thing. See the way I went about things was stupid. I don't see why people need to work against society. Its an important part of our species developement, but so is allowing a society to prosper. Before stagnation occurs, its important to try to nurture the more creative elements of society, instead of the self destructive parts, because that is what the society is going to lean towards once stagnation occurs. I think this society has a few years left in it (although its seriously leaning towards the destructive elements).
I just think the people with the energy and ideas should really try putting it towards the more positive field of things.

They say you are 3 times more likely to suffer depression in a rural setting than in an urban environment. I can see why, too. I live isolated. It's kinda over-rated. It's nice at first, but if you aren't careful you can end up like that guy from Pi.

I've always wondered why more of them don't go into the wilderness. Even in the UK there are plenty of places you could live off the land, relatively undisturbed. Live by trapping rabbits, etc. I know it's what I'd do if I became homeless.

I'm not sure if we have a choice to be a part of society; only whether to participate within it. Recluses still make up society, they just try not to interact with it.

It's probably unhealthy anyway; life is too short. Although much of society sux, you can still make a happy life.
