Socially Solitary, Free Range, and Feral
"There are two components to human nature, the social and the solitary. The solitary is definitely the more highly evolved, and humanity has surged forward through the efforts of brilliant loners and eccentrics. Their names live on forever precisely because society was unable to extinguish their brilliance or thwart their initiative" (Dmitry Orlov, "Definancialisation, Deglobalisation, Relocalisation," The New Emergency Conference, Dublin, 11 June 2009)
"We have a huge surplus of 'factory-farmed humans and a shortage of free-range humans'" (Dmitry Orlov, "Definancialisation")
