K, did you ever entertain the impulse to figuratively cut yourself free of the sluggish and corrupt flow of modern western culture?
It's like knowing when to desert from the command of a suicidal, arrogant, incompetent commander, like Elphinstone. You don't like it, but at some point it becomes every man for himself. That, or die.
If you're lucky, you'll fall in with a group of like-minded deserters, which is what ED is.
