I don’t think that being a hermit (avoiding any social interaction in ‘nature’) and being a criminal (acting against law) are mutually exclusive.
And I think it’s very interesting to read about people who chose to become hermits, because I don’t understand the motivation and may learn something.
I find it less interesting to discuss stolen batteries, because I understand that motivation and logic.
You may choose to not understand things that you don’t agree with, being that kind of intellectual hermit is your proper, if sad, choice as a free human.

I don’t think anyone here disagrees with this. But this man was certainly more in the latter category than the former. He was just as dependent on civilization putting groceries in the supermarket as any of your suburban neighbors, except instead of paying for those groceries, he stole them. Sure, he also lived in nature and didn’t talk to people.
- komali2 7y agoOk sure but he's in jail now so you don't need to worry about people normalizing the behavior - so why not talk instead about the hermitude itself?
- 6thaccount2 7y agoIs he still in jail? I thought he was caught ages ago and had a sentence less than a year? I remember reading about his talk on living in prison...30 years in nature and then absolute filth.
