The cabin. No signal. Chop wood, carry water. Birds and trees. What a romance. Exactly as in that 20 minute video. The premium edition of the internet trap. The off-grid fantasy like a dotfile with mosquitoes and a septic tank. Nature is not a therapy. It's expensive and physically punishing. The office is boring. The wood is boring. Winter is long. A frozen pipe and a septic tank backup at midnight in minus twenty. Unprepared in the office, you lose a job. Unprepared in the woods, you lose a finger. Just you, insects, weather and the same brain that drove you there. At least the internet is warm.
