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.

That was an example for how you can start. I will try not to
sleep. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz That is

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.

I saw the number of replies here went from like 13 to 15 or
something, but then realized they were just my own.

Does anybody want to share their penis with me? Not for sex
or anything.. I just want to use your penis to urinate. I
have to go really bad!

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.

escape.

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.
