kalakoa - Provided you don't mind the lack of jobs and services, sure.
What lack of jobs and services exactly? Sure there's no chip fabrication or AI data centers being done (won't someone think of the electricity rates!), but you could always be a Sales Representative for Cannabis Company in Hilo Hawaii now. They used to try and lock you up for being such an entrepreneur back in the day - wild times!
Not a bad lifestyle choice, but it takes up all your time.
Don't all lifestyle choices take up all your time? Time is just a number, or what you make of it, or something similar I read once on a Jungle Love bumper sticker. ;)
...and that's why Oahu gets to tell Puna how to live.
Do they? Not sure they could bother to find or maneuver the local "roads" to come tell most Punatics how to live...
MyManao - the cost of our isolation being so high the cost to ship in raw materials and equipment, and ship out product, is prohibitive to making a successful agricultural industry.
Maybe better people grow for the local market, instead of trying to turn actual green fruit and veg into green paper or screen digits. All tertiary and quaternary economies rely on the primary sector of physical materials, a fact that should be increasingly clear as all abstractions like prices go up due to the haphazard lack of distant dino juice and an over abundance of warm pacific ocean water. (warning, contains info from topic experts - educate yourself at your own risk ;)
With all the possible explanative narratives possible, why some people are drawn to those that make them the victims of some vast unverifiable conspiracy is a question for the times as the number of people living in these alternate realities is growing and only going to show up more in both local and national politics as politicians are forced to represent their constituents' imaginative concerns.
