    Recently read a news article about a Belgian guy who quit his jobs after years of working and is now going on a several month (years, maybe?) quest to find Bigfoot in desolate areas of Canada.

    He believes Bigfoot should be living there.

      this is explainable by alienation, people have done the same thing for less stakes like leaving their office job to take care of sheep in the mountains edit: so in this case it might not be about bigfoot so much as its about a road trip in canada

        Makes sense. I am currently watching a guy on YouTube who bought 6 acres of land on a mountain in the Italian Alps, building a homestead from a ruin on the plot. He said he wanted to do so because mundane work life drove him crazy. He’s done stuff before like going on a two year bike trip from Vancouver to Patagonia. He said that he just wanted to feel tired again, to be connected to nature instead of constantly living in a work focussed society and to learn how to build thing from scratch.

        He really makes me think about what I’m doing with my life.

          it was definitely a big thing a couple years ago and still is i think especially after primitive technology got viral. people yearn for something else than this alienating capitalist life and are limited in what they can do ab it in capitalism
