I find it interesting that a person who has shunned all outward social connections, tries to then make a social connection via the internet in retelling his story to us.
Humans, whether you like it or not, have evolved to be a social species. Even if one wishes to withdraw, they can only do this in practice with the tacit permission of the society they live in, at least unless they're prepared to give up all worldly conveniences and just go live in a cave somewhere. I also find that interesting, though I'm not sure what to make of it.
- Afforess 14y agoI had the same thought. It's a bit of a paradox. If he is living a healthy asocial lifestyle, there is little chance he would need to externalize his internal thoughts. So by writing an essay on his healthy asocial lifestyle, he contradicts himself... ------------- Edit: Seems reply below is right, I misread the article. He actually calls out his lifestyle as specifically "unhealthy". >...my unhealthy mental state...
