Quotes“I have had a happy life and thank the Lord. Goodbye and may God bless all!”― Final written goodbye, August 13, 1992“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence their [sic] is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”― In a letter to Russell Fritz (as known as Ron Franz), April 1992“Beautiful blueberries.”― Final journal entry, August 8, 1992“Attention Possible Visitors!S. O. S. I NEED YOUR HELP. I AM INJURED, NEAR DEATH, AND TOO WEAK TO HIKE OUT OF HERE. I AM ALL ALONE, THIS IS NO JOKE [double underline]. IN THE NAME OF GOD, PLEASE REMAIN TO SAVE ME. I AM OUT COLLECTING BERRIES CLOSE BY AND SHALL RETURN THIS EVENING. THANK YOU, Chris McCandless. AUGUST ?”— S. O.

Comparing him to a certain another seclude with a views I wonder if a degree in math makes you a better survivor.Or maybe Mihailo Lomonosov was right, that “mathematics is good for that reason already, that it brings the mind in order”. 1436507096.png

@tija I just said it because I don't see any connection between survival and mathematics but of course, you will be better at surviving if you're a basement dweller.

@hagi Listen, I don’t know why are you trying to take offence, what I meant is that this particular guy should’ve picked up some hobby to improve his logic before going innawoods. Because going without food to Alaska’s wilderness thinking that “if I make a soyface, the nature should be nice to me” is plain stupid.char_345_folnic_6-1.png

@tija I apologize if it came over as confrontational, that was not my intention.I should have done more research before writing my post.I knew the story just from the book, which claimed that although he had enough food, he couldn't assimilate enough nourishment due to poisoning.I thought this was wildly accepted thesis but now looking back at it, it really seems like he just starved himself.People sure love to romanticize him.Anyways, he knew the risk so eh
