What areas have you lived in? What did you find?

I’ve come to appreciate how few English speaking countries there actually are in the world.

Western Europe seems cute and glamorous but it feels like a lot of people not much above poverty are just trying to survive. (Hence small buildings and their characteristic way of life). Prices are high, taxes high, incomes low. (Sure, they might say they’re less capitalistic and are happier.)

Maybe I’ve also just gotten older but I feel a kind of enthusiasm prevalent in the 80s/90s has been lost.

We went from dreaming about space, computers, and technology to a world focused on social media, analytics, and artificial intelligence. It’s hard to get excited about the latter…
