We should all take a lesson from Ted Kaczynski and skip this question entirely. The approach of circumventing society is a sham, society will come after you and destroy your peace. Anyone here ever read Island by Huxley? Same concept. People who have given up struggling will pull you down with all their strength if they see you finding a way out. We're all a part of this, it's a modality of summed flaws encompassing humanity.

society hardly exists.
it's a word that used to mean something other than simply a "collection of people". it used to have a positive connotation, it used to mean "a companionship and friendly association with others"...i don't know if i believe that what we have, here, is that. (it implies that people worked for their own common good -- not for their individual needs, independently)
it's full meaning, in it's use these days, is: "the aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community." (which is funny...more or less? well, this is more or less just bullshit)
any other use is regarding a few more, or less, noteworthy things: A: it may be used as a synonym for "nation" or "civilization" ie "American Society" -- but it's hardly true that America is really ordered in a particular way across the board, because each state governs it's own laws. so it's certainly a nation of states, but not a nation of one societal make-up; rather instead, it is one of many make-ups. B: you can also use the word "society" to denote to some kind of organization or group of charity, or some other fashion or movement. but that kind of "society" isn't the one being discussed.
really, society in the sense of the modern world is false advertisement.

Pretty much this, maybe build a shack eventually.
Well you'll have plenty of time to build a shack, when you're living in a van, down by the river.

Humans are social creatures. We need other people . Sometimes it's hard to open up. Lately I've been trying to be more social and positive.
We need other people weather we like it or not.
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Scientific fact. You're right! I would also like to add all my close friends and family/mate who wants to be there. I am very social though.
