I’m not opposed to this guy living his best life without anyone interfering…but when you force other people to interfere because they have to REPEATED SAVE YOU…then no, you no longer are able to make sane decisions.

I came here expecting to be wondering why they don't just let him do it and die if he wants.

But no, this dude's nuts. Repeated rescues including suicide and bomb threats.

Of course, a bit of a catch-22 is appearing here. Anyone attempting to do this is almost definitionally too insane to be allowed to attempt it.

Can't even go free-wheelin' on the ocean in peace. Land of the free indeed.

Obviously there's all sorts of massive issues here, BUT, I want someone to try this with a full crew and a plan.
