It's not a lifestyle I'd want to emulate. The author/character does seem to have some kind of moral code, at least. From my reading, it seems like he's OK with harming the "haves" but I didn't notice him harming any "have nots". I'd guess he's Chaotic Neutral alignment. From easydamus.com: "People who are neutral with respect to good and evil have compunctions against killing the innocent but lack the commitment to make sacrifices to protect or help others. Neutral people are committed to others by personal relationships... Chaotic characters follow their consciences, resent being told what to do, favor new ideas over tradition, and do what they promise if they feel like it."

#22The question I have not yet seen in the comments here is whether or not this post is real or fiction. Is it the journal of a questionable character, or a deliberate attempt to push people's buttons? And honestly, that is why I like it. I really hope it cannot be taken at face value - that would be disappointment.
I don't see anything about a movie called Interlaken being developed. On IMDB, I do see an Andrew Norman Wilson as the director of the short films he mentions in the article.
Who knows about the individual details in it. I'm sure it's sort of directionally true. It's believable at any rate.

It seems like some art student guy's journey leveling up from food coupon couch surfing to movie director. Dunno if real or not or what the point is. Feels like trolling to piss people off?

#24Imagine writing something with such honesty & the people reading don't stop to reflect on how this is just one facet of how the systems they prop up push people into operating to survive. They just judge the person, as though they live in a vacuum.
He lives this way intentionally. He could get a job as a UX designer at Staples.com whenever he wants.

Kinda gives me Bukowski vibes, like if Hank Chinaski had gone to art school.

#28Is this what it feels like to have a life without a purpose? Or is it a plot to a romcom movie about to be released?
Either way, interesting.

It was posted. It got attention. Someone may remember his name. Mission accomplished.
