Today there are certainly drastically more opportunities for someone like me to not comform with the tribe. The risk is far lower than it would have been in past times. I tend to function like a robot in a traditional job context, my brain does some manner of emulation in those situations. Instead, I can be a remote software developer and never have to fit into a traditional team environment in an office, or slog through a corporate hierarchy. I can pursue high value contracting/consulting tasks that pay for the rest of my time to do what I want to do. I can trivially invest my earnings at zero cost into massive scale markets, again without requiring that I go through tribal/caste/cartel networks (bankers, brokers) to partake; specifically there is no permission required, no kissing of the banker's ring needed, I don't have to work through tribal networks to gain access, I don't have to win their favor (and they largely have no idea who I am in this context, whereas a thousand years ago the situation would have been entirely different for someone like me). I can fairly easily and safely roam at will, whether within the US or internationally courtesy of a passport. I plainly benefit from society, and I happily pay taxes into it (I benefit from the order and systems that helps deliver), even if I don't enjoy all aspects of society. There has never been a better time to be someone constructed as I am.

I suspect that I would have operated on the edge of civilizations many thousands of years ago. I would be more likely to do fringe things, and trade. I've always enjoyed trading, the economic action of it, although I dislike traditional sales. Roaming trader or hunter would be most likely rather than shop owner in a bazaar. The roaming would be ideal for multiple reasons. I also prefer to be awake during the night and always have; I can easily sleep during daylight hours and without a darkened space.
