i also liked the bit where he was expecting media attention for his epic quest across america, like he's forrest gump or something. like yeah walking a super long distance is impressive and notable but it's also not really the kind of thing that gets on the news, a few hundreds of people through hike the appalachian trail every year and nobody cares

Especially in the San Francisco area, if you see a bedraggled man shoving a cart full of cheap camping gear through a public park, you're going to assume he's homeless, and you've already been hit up for change 10 times since you left your house this morning so you avoid him. Also if I remember correctly, he was basing his gear and route on a guy whose name was something like "Hobo Ron". "Hobo Nick" lol who, goons speculated, may have had his parents watching over the trip and asking strangers to give him money to keep him alive. and yes he was convinced to do the ADT instead of the google maps car route

there is a reason actual hobos don't go on life-changing cross-country walks, get handed loads of money by strangers, and post along the way on twitter about it, with loads of news outlets covering their amazing journey, yes.

And there's also a reason that if you live in the same neighbourhood for five years you're going to see many of the same homeless people.

Another "funny" part of it is after he passed out in a public park within city limits, his reaction was not "Gosh, this is a bit harder than I thought. I doubt I would have made it across the country.', but instead "Nobody stopped me to talk so I could tell them that mental illness exists. That's not fair. Also I totally would have made it all the way across America if not for ... reasons. Ah well, better try to drive across in a Mercedes. Coz that's totally the same thing." There's no doubt he was mentally ill, (I think he said he was bi-polar and autistic.), but he was also a massive arsehole who would not take advice from people who knew better, and was totally convinced that he and he alone was a super duper altruist, and that by taking donations from friends and family for gas money, he was actually saving the world.
