Imagine losing all your stuff in an accident. Then imagine all the strain the production of all that stuff had on the environment. When you are dry, warm and have a few high quality pieces of clothing, you are pretty much set. Add some seriouscrelationships and some good friends, and you are probably not to unhappy. This survivor in Alaska lost a floating home, but got some new friends and a new life.
- kubanczyk 6y agoIt's been a recurring theme here on HN, but yeah he'd be unhappy. One thing missing from the checklist is the social status and all the elaborate signaling that goes with it. The "good friends" and especially "relationships" might never materialize or sustain themselves without the status. Less social people often overlook that part, I know that I do.
