Smurk reply just to shrug off the fact you are only looking to your own bellybutton.

  You don't know me at all; how can you make that claim? I don't think that's at all true about me. I spend a lot of effort involved in improving the emotional welfare of other people. Moreover, I think it's ridiculous to commend and "respect" villagers for having to endure unnecessary hardships; it's as if the commender attains a stance of moral superiority for valuing "what really matters". It's not clear to me that: 1) Living rurally is actually net worse for a human being 2) If living rurally is indeed net worse for a human being, that commending and respecting them is a good thing - perhaps such a situation should be held in contempt in order to promote a more radical advance in technology 3) I think effort and willpower deserve respect -- merely having to endure hardship, while unfortunate, is not necessarily worthy of my respect. P.S. As a friendly FYI, "Smurk" is not a word.
