I've been a NEET for almost 9 months now. I have 4 semesters of college completed for applied mathematics, but I didn't want to keep paying full price for University when I didn't have access to the physical University's resources.

Also, I'm not even going to school in hopes of a career. In the past year and a half, I have had my philosophy heavily influenced by authors like Theodore Kaczysnki and Jacques Ellul. Really I'm just attending school at this point so my parents don't see me as just stalling.

My father is giving me 20 acres on his farm to build a cabin next to the river, where I will be building an off grid homestead, raising my own plants and animals for food and fishing from the river. My main goal is to avoid a life of career dedication in the conventional economy. I will be able to pay property tax on my lot for the rest of my life without having to work because I'm getting a payout from my mutual fund in a bit less than a decade.

I plan to go back to school once the restrictions are lifted and finish a doctorate in applied maths, or physics I'm not sure yet. But like I said, it is not in search of a career. All I want is to be in the wilderness with my vegetables, animals, and my books. By the way, I'm not in a position where I don't know what I'm getting myself into. I've done semi-extended periods of off grid living before as a younger man on hunting trips with my father at his cabin deep in the mountain. My father, an avid outdoorsman in every regard, played a major role in nurturing my love of nature. As well, I am extremely anti-social and have a strong disgust for society in general. I tried living in the city before, how horrible that was for me. I live in the country right now, but I want to take it further and completely abandon industrialism.

One more thing: I know that a philosopher, to deserve our respect, must preach by example. This is why I am going off grid. It has been fun browsing the chan. But I'll have to say goodbye.
