Living Off the Grid
45Watch it awake.
Independence is a craft, not a mood. The poster does not show who gets sick.
The review
Leaving a grid can be stewardship if you know what you are refusing and what you still owe the people who cannot leave. It can also be a costume of self-reliance that still orders parts from a warehouse and calls it pioneer. The desk has the title, not the homestead. The test is dull. Who eats in February. Who is ill. Who pays. Who is abandoned so the cabin can look pure.
Watch it for technique if technique is shown. Do not watch it as a permission to disappear on the people who would notice.
Journal
Keep Living Off the Grid in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 45. Yours can differ.
The glance
Household and Piety and Republic and Truth are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story
56 instead of 45
Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story is still a documentary film, and it scores 56 instead of 45. What you gain is truth: She will not lie about the inside of her head.
The eight
- 7Industry
The skill, if real, is the point.
- 4Household
A household experiment. Risky for whoever did not choose it.
- 3Piety
Freedom as a near-religion.
- 5Courage
Staying out there takes nerve.
- 3Republic
Exit is not a politics.
- 5Temperance
Restraint, perhaps.
- 4Truth
The claim has to include the winter.
- 5Stewardship
Real skill is worth keeping. The romance of exit is not.
