I had already bookmarked this post because I love the idea. But your response is incredibly thought provoking. I love the idea of moving to Alaska or Canada in the wilderness, and figuring out how to survive and stay connected. I'm thinking on the fly, but I think I would be contributing to society. My specialty is web programming and software architecture. I'd even go so far as to call it an art form. I encounter a problem. Sleep on it for a few days, then bam, things settle into place and I spend a couple days solid programming. Those days that I'm "sleeping on it" if I'm at work, I'm often distracted by day-to-day tasks that usually could have been handled by someone else. I'm not sold on the concept one way or the other. I do like the idea of a middle-ground solution. I really appreciate your counter-argument. Good to think about at least.
