    Just goes to show how insane society has become that you’d rather go to therapy than take a 29 day break by being lost at sea.

      29 days away from reality is therapy.

      There’s a tiny town in northern California called Downieville that my wife and I love to visit. It’s maybe 200 people, sits on the convergence of two decent sized rivers, and there is pretty much no cell service. Even just a week of sitting by that river is enough to fully recharge me and not want to break everything for at least 4 months.

      Society hasn’t become that bad. It’s becoming that bad again, and almost none of us are used to it.
