The Disperser is home to a true
American, a man who seeks freedom from oppression from his beliefs
by his fellow countrymen and the governments that claim to
represent all people but which in reality represent none.

Statement
Regarding "Conception" Dive Boat Tragedy in Santa Barbara,
California USA
We
are once again being illegally dispossessed, this time by
Marina Palmira
The Disperser is home to two people (so far) who lack the social
skills necessary to safely negotiate society. We like to think
that we traded social skills for skills we can use in nature to
survive. Unfortunately, most people don't consider such a
perspective and instead judge us by our poor ability to present
ourselves socially. As a result, we have decided to create this
website in order that we might provide factual information about
ourselves which does not rely on social presentation which we are
incapable of.
I am Michael Wolf, captain of the Disperser. I suffered brain
damage in 2004 which damaged my brain in such a way as to destroy
what you can call "ego," which is no more than my social presence,
or my personality. Even as a highly intelligent person who has
studied and researched the brain damage I suffered, I still do not
understand fully what happened, except that I seem to be
completely unable to relate to anyone socially.
My companion is also my caregiver. He was born premature by 5
weeks and suffered psychological trauma due to misunderstood
health problems which were improperly diagnosed and treated in his
youth. As a result, he never had the chance to develop social
skills, skills absolutely necessary for surviving in modern
society which has all of the earth's resources locked up behind a
paywall.
Together, we can survive anything nature throws at us, but neither
of us and not even together have we been able to successfully
negotiate society to acquire the only thing society can provide,
the land we require to be able to complete work ourselves with
resources and tools we already possess in order that we might
complete our ship so we may live our lives outside of the society
which created our condition and also happens to judge us for it.
This website then presents our efforts, and also includes any
difficulties we have in interacting with society. It is organized
as best as can be considering my disabilities and as such, your
patience will be appreciated.
The Disperser is the name of the
vessel which is home to two people who have decided to live
self-sufficiently in a nomadic life which includes a sufficient
degree of luxury and convenience as to allow us to both enjoy
life, and to conduct research in our personal mission to ensure
the human species survives. We are not like anyone else in the
world. We strive for as natural a life as possible, but we also
strive to achieve our potential as human beings. We are not
capitalists or progressives. We are not hippies or sovereign
citizens. We are not preppers, nor are we 'cruisers' like other
sailors. We have our own direction in life completely
independent of any nation, culture, or belief system.
The Disperser is our efforts to diversify the human experience.
Just as dispersing diversifies the genetics of wolves and
enables them to better adapt to and survive their world, so is
it our belief that our efforts will help the human species by
diversifying our collective approach as human beings to the
problems of survival. And we ask that our efforts be respected
as such; that we are recognized as trying to do something
different for good reasons that will have real benefits to
humanity.
The Disperser began as a means by which I could create a
controlled and organized environment in which I could survive
due to the effects of brain damage I suffered in a house fire.
Society was far too unpredictable and unstable for my needs
while the ocean, while at times potentially dangerous, offers a
predictability that society simply cannot. Living on a ship
outside of society, reliant upon myself and those with me on my
ship and only ourselves means my world is much smaller and more
manageable now that my brain has far less capacity to deal with
the complexities of society. Because of my injuries, I am also
far less capable of what people take for granted as socializing,
and have created this website to act as a source of information
about me and my developing project which began over lunch in my
motorhome in Arcata California in July 2012.
This website provides information about us, our vessel, our
philosophies, our mission, our goals, and our beliefs for those
who might be interested in learning about what we are doing. As we
are not social and thus have only very limited interactions with
people and society, this website is the only true window into our
lives and our efforts.
You are welcome to explore this website via the text links to the

This website is informational only and will be updated often but
without schedule or notice. Services exist which can provide
notification of updates to this site and you are welcome to find

My official statement
on my need for protection as a refugee/asylee:
A brief note of significant importance:
I came to Mexico to seek Refuge and/or asylum not just because
I qualify and require the protection afforded by this
international instrument designed to protect vulnerable people
such as myself in my condition; I came also because I was
deprived of any chance to prove my medical condition is real
and that I am not as people judge me by my symptoms and to be
able to do so through a process which requires I be listened
to and my evidence considered before making any rash
judgments; something not one single person in my life has
done. Refuge therefore, is vital for me in getting my most
basic human needs met. I have thus far been unable to secure
access to this process which is vital to me above all else
because of the fact that my symptoms worsen with increased
stress. I sent a letter via post to Migración and received an
email 29 March confirming receipt. It is for my purposes, a
legal declaration of seeking refuge which allows me access to
due process in case they act to deport me. I still hope for
some assistance in finding a location to work on my ship.
