I've got a better idea










Too soon?

 

BTW... I think about this all the time (especially during my morning commute when I'm constantly reminded how selfish and inconsiderate people are). I think things that would be factors to me are:
- Property taxes. In order to be able to afford a reasonable amount of land and a decent house without breaking the bank on my small amount of savings, I'd need a low tax rate, since I don't want to work once I move away from 'civilization'.
- Utilities. Even though I don't want to physically interact with people, I still want access to information & communication (e-mail, chat, etc), so I'd need some form of high-speed data. If I could afford the initial investment, it would be great to have a near-self-sustaining setup. Solar power for electricity, recycled water for irrigation of a garden, etc.
- Accessibility. Although I don't want to be surrounded/crowded by people, I still want to be somewhere with accessibility to groceries, supplies and healthcare.

There is a lot more to consider, but these are a few things that I think would be factors in choosing a location.

 

Tennessee mountains gets my vote.

 

yeah.. i guess you can be a hermit and still be around people (probably a little healthier if one decides to rejoin society). the international thing, ive tried already.. ive tried going to different parts of the world, and believe me, i couldnt escape the madness. ive come to the conclusion that people can be inconsiderate, cruel, and shameless anywhere. i think im having another existential moment in my life.

 

Reminds me of an extremely corny joke:

A hermetic Indian holy man walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

 

I hear the Unabomber's cabin is vacant. Just ask Ted for the keys.

 

I hate existential crisis'. Went to Europe for a month to leave everything behind and I merely came out 8 grand poorer and none the more enlightened.

Would you still be collecting an income? Will you be spending money? A lack of income tax/sales tax should skew your decisions to one state or another.

 

You can get LSD for like $10-15.
