Could you live in near isolation?
Posted on 3/5/20 at 10:08 am

Assuming you would be safe and comfortable with technology, but be without human interaction the vast majority of the time, except perhaps on supply runs.
I couldn't do it in my personal situation, because I could never leave my family.
But I think my personality could handle it, otherwise.

Do I have a computer with the internet? If so, then yes.

Before marriage and kid? I would have preferred it.
If my wife and kid can come with me, I'd move tomorrow.

Yes, technology. TV, internet, VR Porn if you like. Just no real people.

I like my solitude, but not that much. I lived in near isolation right after college when I moved to a town where I knew nobody. Pretty much my only human interaction was at work. It was very lonely the first few months and it sucked. I got really depressed.

Easily.
The longer I lived by myself out in the middle of nowhere the less I like people and noise. To the point I stopped responding to knocks on the door if it wasn't someone I specifically requested to come by and turned off all communication notifications except answering machine flashing light and cell screen notices.
I can easily walk past bums, winos, and the injured w/out even acknowledging their existence. If I am not getting paid significantly then other people are just an obstacle to get around.

What about a sex bot?
Posted on 3/5/20 at 10:18 am to Bjorn Cyborg
I enjoy sex, so no.

A good internet connection, a nearby place that I can fish and some land for livestock and I would be happy as a clam.
Posted on 3/5/20 at 10:37 am to Bjorn Cyborg
could. and would probably prefer it.

Yes.
Maybe it's because in childhood I was an only child and there weren't any kids close to my age in a five block radius.
Now husband and I are out in the country. When we were rebuilding this old house we noticed one July we hadn't been into Knoxville for almost 18 days. Had had a trip to the local hardware store and one to a small grocery, but not bright lights, big city and no telephone for that long. Then we went in only because we were running out of supplies (food, hardware, paint, etc.)

I would be stark raving mad within two days.
Once I tried to be by myself for a few days in a kind of a personal retreat. I went downhill fast. I am not built for silence or solitude.
Not criticizing those who can live alone. Maybe they are stronger people. Not me. I'm tribal to the core.

If I can take my wife then yes. Totally alone, nope.
Posted on 3/5/20 at 10:51 am to Bjorn Cyborg
Kids aside? Yes. In fact when my youngest graduates high school I am heading to the mountains to do just that for a few years.
Posted on 3/5/20 at 10:53 am to Bjorn Cyborg
If I have my spouse,yes... I'd love to live in Idaho or Montana out in the middle of nowhere. As long as I have power and TV and internet I would be fine.
