Personally I would rather live in a cave. When you're in a jail cell, you might end up on an operating table because some wealthy someone needs a new liver, and yours was a match. This person did live in exile, but he lived nonetheless. To some life itself is more important.

- reaperducer 7y agoThere are hundreds of thousands of people who live in caves. China and Turkey leap to mind. The article I read about it in Turkey showed it as a kind of cultural heritage thing, not a poverty thing. The article I read about it in China was about the Chinese government forcing people who live in caves to move to cities, where they have no social nets or coping skills. Apparently there is some huge number (hundreds of thousands? millions? I forget) of people in China who live in caves in the western part of the country, and Beijing considers their lifestyle an embarrassment.
