Presumably you left Russia to get to something better, not worse on pretty much every dimension except novelty

- trhway 1y agoYep, and dying on Mars feels to me better than on Earth.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoOn what dimensions would that be preferable?
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> On what dimensions would that be preferable? Novelty, for one.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoYeah, makes sense. Novelty like what toys provide! Obviously one is free to want that. When I think of the opportunity costs involved, it seems repugnant to be honest. The opposite of glorious.
- trhway 1y agoThat is about my point - i want to get as far as possible from such a philosophy as it is taking over the civilization. I lived under similar philosophy in USSR and, as long as it is up to me, i'll be trying to put a distance in all senses.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoEh, pathologies at both ends! I hope you achieve your dream though (and that you devise a more pleasant way to do it ;))
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> Yeah, makes sense. Novelty like what toys provide! And art and scientific endeavour and exploration and possibly all the things that make us human, but sure.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoBut those serve other purposes too, which is why I was asking for ones in addition to sheer novelty.
