In every facet of history there has been the male need to not just explore, but escape. This shows in multiple facets, where anywhere “society” has existed, the need to find somewhere else always spawns from two conditions, women and weak men. This is why every society immediately starts to stagnate over time, why the trope of weak men and strong men exist, and why men have always led the need to separate and move beyond versus the female led need to invoke status, to expand subjectivity, and to force those more capable than them to their knees.

I feel that need myself. It manifests as a desire to live alone in a quiet rural area away from busybody retards. I wonder how many adventurers and explorers did it to get away from the bitch at home. Some of history's greatest men were bachelors (Isaac Newton comes to mind).
There's a very good reason I love reading about Dick Proenneke or Bernard Montessier.
It's disturbing in how so short a period of time we've gone from having isolated places you could go to escape the world to being almost totally interconnected.
