I don’t think that being a hermit (avoiding any social interaction in ‘nature’) and being a criminal (acting against law) are mutually exclusive. And I think it’s very interesting to read about people who chose to become hermits, because I don’t understand the motivation and may learn something. I find it less interesting to discuss stolen batteries, because I understand that motivation and logic. You may choose to not understand things that you don’t agree with, being that kind of intellectual hermit is your proper, if sad, choice as a free human.
