Just listened to Peter Thiel complain about how hard it is to have mega companies in Europe and how everyone wants to sell and go on vacation. I am glad Europe exists as a counterpoint to the rat race that is the US. I absolutely love how life can be slow here, how money isnโt everything. How in much of Europe no one cares if you are a venture capitalist with a gazillion dollars to spend. How people donโt need to work themselves to death to prove a point. How on a Wednesday afternoon you can find people just enjoying the sun and not fretting about deliverables. How trains work. How guns are not everywhere. How road rage doesnโt not immediately lead to someone shooting you in the chest. How cities are walkable. How people are not obsessed with marriage and who pays on dates. How little purity culture there is. How people are not terrified of a naked body in public. Because in the end after you make all that money, after you build that mega company, what is it all for? What is all your success worth if in this brief life you cannot enjoy the things that make life worth living, the little things, the lakes and rivers and oceans, the mountains, the colors of nature, the taste of food, the smiles of humans who are not all judging each other based on which patch of land they own, which piece of equipment they have, and what imaginary figures they have in banks? What is human progress for if not for the enjoyment of this one brief life? And yes Europe has its problems. A lot of them. But it would be a disaster if Europe became like the US.
@Ibrahim_mikiya Did you also consider what would happen if the Crocs wakes up from its sleep and opens its jaws?....Maybe you should have just made your post with a different inscription.
