    I think this level of self-awareness is probably the most frustrating. They’re aware this looks crazy, but not that it might just be crazy.

      Because it’s not a belief in being independent. It’s a “trick” to not be beholden to taxes or car insurance/registration, etc.

      This one acknowledges that it’s crazy and he will probably be denied employment for submitting fraudulent details. But they want the benefits of cheating their way out of being “part of the machine”

          It’s probably part of it, and being part of a secret in group that gives them a sense of being and identity in this bleak corpo meat grinder of world we live in.

          Maybe a bit of non violent disobedience, a desire to get caught and martyr themselves for a bit of notoriety.

          It’s probably a complex series of social, psychological, political events that’s just easier to boil down to ‘crazy’ and be amused by their antics.

      Yeah, its actually incredibly interesting. Like, this person should be studied. What must other processes in life be like for them?
