@CoronaCoreanici The more I think about this, the more solidly convinced I am that the people who believe that either can't or won't see things outside of the context of contemporary society.

I mean if the apex of your life goals are like "Sightsee in Japan", that's not gonna carry indefinitely, but listen, I want to know the songs and the language of the universe. Like, _actually_ the universe.

It's not a exactly a small or a limited place. :3

@Kyresti I can't blame them too much - just pity them. If you all you know is all you've personally physically seen, then your desires are very much circumscribed.

@Kyresti @CoronaCoreanici Reminds me of a quote from the second Ringworld book: "That very moment, [Louis Wu] had sworn to live forever. How else could he see all the wonders of the Universe?"

@CoronaCoreanici With a finite body and finite time I found great joy walking myself from New York City down to Raleigh. I would quite enjoy the time to walk anywhere, and back again.
