Walking away from conflict has somehow become narrowly identified with libertarian 'exit' politics. It's a much broader idea. I think exploration beyond current boundaries is as fundamental an evolution mechanism as differential survival in static-boundary conflict ecologies.
It need not be conflict in the sense of human-to-human beef. It can be conflict in the broader sense of struggle against a difficult problem, adventure journey etc. I'm talking specifically about people who do all their thinking in the context of personal beefs.
