I just spent the last four weeks in the national forest. I didn't see another person for 26 days. As far as I can tell, absolutely nothing has changed during my time away. No one has changed their minds about anything except that they are more open minded when it comes to the way I live. For the first time in my life, people seem very interested in getting away from other people and the skills it takes to do that.
As my my ability to appreciate people, as individuals, has advanced over the years, my tolerance for the insanity inherent in groups of people has waned. Insanity is rare in individuals, but it is the norm in groups because all groups have multiple personalities. Those who think of people, first and foremost, as individuals rather than members of groups know intuitively that they must protect themselves from those who think of people, first and foremost, as members of groups rather than individuals.
I am very disappointed in the gullibility and/or acquiescence of people during this shutdown, but it was VERY nice having the national forest all to myself.
