Also traveling it's a rat race sometimes. It's consumption.
- slothtrop 3y agoIt is definitely consumption, and is uniquely thought of by some as either not being consumption or being more virtuous than purchasing things, and simultaneously being a status marker.
- dymk 3y agoI think some people value experiences over things, and some people don't. The people participating are probably not as snooty about it as you think.
- slothtrop 3y agoI don't project snootiness on all travelers. I only reflect that I've seen these arguments that necessarily come from travelers (or aspiring ones).
- iammjm 3y agoI wonder about your definition of consumption and I fear it might too all-encompassing to signify anything meaningful.
- ip26 3y agoThe fun and pleasure of travel is not that unlike going to the theatre. You are there to “see” and “experience”, not to help build communities or repair bridges.
