I’m majoring in CS related-field, and I used to have tons of passion for it and underlying tech, and worked as full stack dev, but my mind was very different in a good way (better at logical/cognitive demanding tasks, creative, productive, etc). Things happened, and I just can’t stand living in society, experiencing all this materialistic world and feeling sick about it. I’m truly traumatized and I’ve been trying all available means to improve (so I’m not asking what rule 3 is against)… I can’t feel any passion for what I used to do… The meanings I gave for my life and hope are away. I don’t care anymore about digital world, industrialization, I just can’t. So my performance has suffered due to all this.

So, it can sound funny to read this, but I am considering living in a farm I have access to and do my own farming to eat, artesian well for water, constructing just a little home to live… I don’t exactly care about electricity. I would probably be happier just by burning some stuff to have light at night if needed and looking at the stars all alone until death.

What do you all think about this?

    Can confirm. Grew up in a town of 1k and being around too many people makes me nervous. Open spaces and nature is calming

        I mean just look at this one guy who was crazy as shit balls before he even secluded himself. That’ll be you if you decide to be alone.

          To my knowledge I have not been experimented upon by the CIA, I’m just a redneck, but then again how would you know?….

        Maybe Ted was just a hitchhiker who got stuck on this planet too long. I’m certainly ready to try another one if any ships are passing by
