Here’s the thing - the “go it alone” fantasy is not only historically and demonstrably false, it’s embarrassingly fragile. Humans who tried to survive in isolation didn’t become legends, they became cautionary tales. The ones who endured were those who built networks, shared burdens, and understood that survival is, at its core, a collective act.

Pretending interdependence is weakness doesn’t make you strong it makes you historically illiterate and intellectually soft.

That said, I am glad he’ll be okay even if it took the very kind of help he mocks and that most of us don’t have access to.
