Human beings require interaction with other human beings to identify the self. It is impossible to live without others. Read up on solitary confinement sometime - enough time without human companionship will drive any human being (except the schizoaffective) completely insane.

On the other hand, reading their other content leads one to believe that they may, in fact, be serious... hmm...
