@iron_bug while those, let's call them scientific, things are certainly interesting this was more about social experiences and society in general. there are just some things i never have experienced and never will.

the way western societies are running kind of feels like a very deep local optimum - agitprop against ever changing enemies and ever increasing consumption of things which don't make people happy for decades.

i will very likely never experience the slowness of the society my grandparents lived in, for example.
