You've got about 15 of those as a young adult. How much are they worth?
Most people have a shitty time their whole lives. Most people in history would dream of spending a year the way adult Americans do/did. My plan is to enjoy college and then dive into a startup.
- timr 17y agoIgnoratio elenchi. I'm not suggesting that you do nothing with your life, just that you have to weigh the alternatives carefully. (But as an aside, even today a huge percentage of the world's population lives in squalor. If this is your true concern, then I assume that you're going to address it with your startup? Otherwise, your argument is simply a justification for martyrdom. Noble perhaps, but not necessarily useful.)

Really, I meant that the way Americans live is plain awesome compared to most anybody most anytime, and that the latter is the default. Which is why I'm not doing anything about changing the default; rather, I'm going to try to enjoy the good times.
