I'd probably spank it until I couldn't spank it anymore. Not sure if that has anything to do with your question, but that's what I'd do.

If I were stranded on a desert island I'd take in as much of the island as I cared to then I'd off myself.

The thought of being permanently alone is one of my biggest fears.

If you're alone what is the point of being alive?

Whoa. I love my family, but I love my alone time also. I'd do just fine on a deserted island I am sure. I much to much of a coward to off myself. That's going to hurt and I am a pussy when it comes to pain.

We all have self delusions. Our self delusions are for how we want others to see us. We are a social creature and without this perceived outlet for our delusions we would go insane. There would be no motivation.

I'm impressed Allstar.

Alone as in no other living thing, or just the only person. Are there llamas? Sheep? It might change might answer.

step one secure water

step two secure shelter

step three fire

step four nutrition

step five signal fire

Improve all of the above

step six use coconuts as sunbloc, get tanned -I like solitude so this would not be a problem really.. all I'd need is my knife my magnesium stick and maybe some fishing gear or a rifle with some ammo.

step 7 await rescue or death.

i agree, but rather than waiting for help...
i would build a boat.

i would use it to explore just beyond the island...
as i developed a usable compass and/or learn the stars.

when i am ready to navigate, ill drive my ship east.

yes, east.


[EDIT] not that i wouldn't wait for help, but i would expect for it to not show up.

I really did not mean to hurt your little feelings... I know you people get upset easily.

I'm also pretty sure I'd be wearing my wingtips or any of my other designer leather shoes.. The cordage is pretty damn awesome to have out in nature. happy

the real question is...

if the deserted island could provide all of your human needs,
would you try to find your way back to "society".

I've spent a week or so out in the woods upon occasion, there is a difference about choosing solitude and having it forced upon you.

But spending a week or so fishing and building a shelter foraging for food etc in a warm climate does not sound horrible.

But going at it Tom Hanks style seems excessive.

We all depend on other people.

Look around you. How much of your life depends on the actions of others? Did you grow the food you eat? Sew the clothes you wear? How many hands make your lifestyle possible?

You are not as independent as you think you are.

Exactly why one ventures out in nature alone from time to time armed with either a fishing rod or a rifle.. It's therapeutic.
