as pretentious and exaggerated statement as the first one, or so i suspect. while there are unfortunately still slaves in this world, taking your first statement into account, i doubt you are a person who fled from literal slavery.

society is all around you and literally the only way to quit it is to move somewhere where it is not present. which is a deserted island, or few selected areas in central australia, central africa, maybe some northern canada…

but maybe i have it wrong, in that case please enlighten me and explain your secret. how have you exited the society while simultaneously having this discussion on the internet?

who says you have to live in complete isolation to stop participating?

dictionary and common sense.

you have an internet connection. you are paying for it, or someone else on your behalf. you are eating food and probably paying for it too. you have not quit a society.

i quit society

you are lucky that your deserted island has an internet connection 😂

I could do this in about five seconds with Corel PhotoPaint.

that is because you are familiar with corel photopaint. i could do that faster than you in gimp, because i am familiar with gimp.

and yes, using tool capable of doing lot of complex tasks takes more time to learn than some single-purpose tool that is optimized to do one task (and even then you have to learn how to use it). that is like wondering that learning to pilot aircraft takes longer than learning to ride on a bicycle.
