I sincerely appreciate the personal input. I'm mostly recovered from 2021, and I don't intend to do anything dramatic if I do decide to go partly off-grid. Purely from logistics alone, I'd need to transition to a remote-only job and get money saved, but I've also placed the requirement of finishing my monstrous writing project before starting it.

As far as I can tell from the meandering I've done, good people and more power are a toxic combination. Either the power gets to their head and they stop being good anymore, bad people with less moral failsafes will take over that power, or good people have to sacrifice power to the Great Unknown just to continue surviving. And, eventually, the children of good people aren't automatically good by osmosis, and they're the ones who inherit the throne.

It may be a fantasy wrought by the ending of Robinson Crusoe (which bugged me that he didn't make a sequel), or an over-application of how I found untold freedom when I was a truck driver. Mostly, it's an experiment to see if we can do it, and how far we can go, and I'll keep the apartment manager of the nearest big city on file just in case.

But check out The Swiss Family Robinson. Read both Crusoe and the latter as a kid.
