It's poetic and philosophical, but it's good to steelman such idealizations of struggle. Was it worth it to achieve these feelings for McAfee?
I've been in a third-world jail for one night for a victimless crime, facing five years in prison, and my feelings were very different. More than anything was the feeling of the banality of time when you physically can't move more than handfuls of inches.

After uncountable lawsuits and the reach of the FED's I now have nothing.
But inside these prison bars I have never felt more free.

John McAfee doesn't seem to have a very firm grip on reality. But hey, at least he's finding a way to cope in prison. Good for him.
