I would like to share your attitude but fear the consequences when millions seek a place in the wilderness. What do you do when you arrive and your neighbor asks you to move on because he wants to be more alone?
No, you see, anarchism means I can do whatever I want. Who cares about the other people?
That’s horrible. Have empathy. :(
I want to be more alone too, so I'd probably not get to the point where I was close enough to have them tell me to go away.
However, most people probably wouldn't like the actual wilderness. They want a big country house somewhere and when they find out they need to build it themselves they'll go back to the apartment blocks.
One reason I'm a fan of making cities less objectively terrible is that more people will live in them and be even further away from my hovel.
