Quite true. But what I was saying was that when people "drop out", it often means dropping responsibilities while expecting society to support them in various ways - perhaps invisible to them. The point was raised earlier - where does a digital vagrant get their power from? Where do they wash clothes? Cook? Do they ever clean a toilet? etc.
