But yeah, cut spending anywhere, but just can't help not getting excited over this while people are suffering. And I am saying this as a kid who wanted to be an astronomer when he was 13 and worked at a gas station to buy a celestron C80 telescope.

- podgaj 5y agoHahah ha hahahahaa...wow. I hope you can hear yourself, and look inward before it is too late for you. Yes, I would rather save my selfish excitement until after we take care of the suffering of others. I WOULD get excited if we housed every person that needed a house, maybe someone could focus on that "technical improvement" for once.
- panick21_ 5y agoYeah I am horrible person for enjoying something while there are people in the world who suffer. I really need to look inward. All support science, technology, art, culture form all government in the world should be stopped as long as there is a single person without housing in the world? How about education, that a luxury too right? Do we really need new trains or subways as long as there people without housing? Why try to solve climate change, people are suffering now, right? Are you pure nationalist or are you applying this logic globally? Would you literally support the US stopping all spending on all those things? And invest all of that in helping people in places like South Sudan or Indonesia?
