Absolutely no hate to these people - their projects are very interesting, and if this is how you want to live by all means do it!

But i gotta say, living off grid is fundamentally solipsist. Abandoning society rather than attempting to live well within society will always be a dead end. Imo. It’s easy to say you’ll go it alone, but staying and improving it for not just yourself but for everyone else is more valuable.

No one should be forced or guilted to "contribute"

Those people are nobler than perpetuating the cancer upon this planet that we call "society"

Coincidentally, YouTube just randomly recommended a video about people who are on the extreme opposite end of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1Mt3YJYb2A — Bali Is Everything Wrong With Society
