No longer have much hankering to travel unless it is in decently luxurious and convenient ways, even though I’ve only sampled maybe 40% of major world regions. Kinda wanderlusted out. Only place I’d be willing to put up with some inconvenience for is Antarctica. And space.

I don’t even mean people like me, who write in public and set up expectations that we’ll be logging it all into the commons. I mean private people with no public life, but who don’t even bother checking in their new code to friends/family.

Interesting that so many people resist and fight aging so hard and so successfully (in many significant ways you can avoid aging if you try hard enough, even though physically you will decline and die) Aging is quite an interesting experience. I’m not all inclined to fight it.

In the US there is practically a stigma against accepting aging without putting up a fight. Oddly it is seen as some sort of failure, which I never understood. Reminds me of old taboos against traveling abroad/across oceans as “sinful”
