    you don’t even have the option not to, there is no territory for you, you are obliged to enter a social contract

    you could try to get away with it, but you’ll likely be discovered eventually unless you keep low and lie well. you won’t be permitted to just build a cabin with your mates, they’ll come and tear it down if they see smoke from it, or spot it on satellite

      This is the same situation for many young animals - they can live by the rule of their parent group or find new territory, which isn’t always available. We don’t solve this by return to monke.

        I dunno, i think the complexity of our civilization is more demanding than cooperation with a parent group or a tribe. And now there pretty much is never new territory for human misfits.
