I feel that my very existence is being threatened every day now in this time of social distancing and discourse. To me, it's my inalienable human rights, which I feel are at the most significant risk for they are seemingly treated as if they're unimportant by those who have entered implicitly into a social contract to govern over me without harming my freedom. Unfortunately, it has become painfully apparent that there are even those within my own family who have a contemptuous attitude in this regard.

So, I'm at a precipice dealing with the high cost of living in the Silicon Valley region of California. And I've decided to become a minimalist in the preserved central area of Wisconsin once again as it was for me as a young child, with the deliberate intent of doing it in a very romantic transcendental way. Do you believe that I'm an anarchist or just a very sad old Necedah, WI expatriate? My hope is you'll recollect neither about me.

The Socratic paradox: "I know that I know nothing" (Wikipedia link)

Even a forest has the right to life!

( "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" is a philosophical thought experiment that raises questions regarding observation and perception. -- Wikipedia )

( If this reasoning is unclear to you, with regards as to why I am currently planning my geodesic dome homesteading endeavor ( my "Walden" if you will, with an igloo tiny dome home ), then please visit my page on Henry David Thoreau )


“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms...”

― Henry David Thoreau

Why can't I be Self-reliant?

I have seen the truth!

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life"

--Charles Dederich The Washington Post (December 10, 1978)

Are you friend or foe? Are you Eudaemonic or despotic? A zealot or apathetic? A Communist or imperialist? A Humanist or theologian? Or, maybe you've rejected socialism and agree with Ayn Rand's Objectivism? But, I have always been idealistically a stoically Centric Neoconservative dreamer! As of November 3, 2020, I've transcended to Centrism in my Political Ethos.

(For example, a can of heart healthy chili style mixed beans at the neighborhood Walmart is only $0.48, but this is only partially satisfyingly of my daily caloric need. And, beans are not nutrition wholesome. Meaning they can not be the end all answer to a healthy diet, but nutritionally they are a better choice than downing raw eggs, Mr. Bypass! I can not believe I was so ignorant health wise during my body building phase, but so was Doctor Ancel Keys! Thank God, I was freed from my unhealthy cave!)

I am living in fear every day now! I have become gravely concerned regarding the callousness of wealthy capitalistic oligarchs towards my right to life, a seemingly prevalent trait amongst the Silicon Valley elite. Sadly, I have concluded that society is out to make this courageously philosophic baby boomer and military veteran; "An extinct old fossil!" Why have so many people told me that, "It will get better," when I can see it has not?! Death, to me, is a release from what binds us to this physical existence. However, I'm not Socrates! Right? What's the point? Who cares, Spilmon? Well, I do, because I have the will to live! (Apology - Wikipedia link)
