This reminds me of a point about a planetary physics point: habitability requires plate tectonics. Without quakes, planets don’t circulate many of the elements necessary for life. I think phosphorous and some others. You need lifequakes or life becomes uninhabitable

I can feel creativity drying up without airport-hotel phosphorous cycle

Might as well compound the assholery... international trip every year or so was a nice part of globalist lifestyle. Nothing like a break in a foreign country to really shake up the brain. I think my last trip outside US was September 2018... so that’s 2 years now.

So probably also the longest I’ve been in the US continuously in a decade. Damn.

Actually no business trip outside of the west coast in 2 years. Seattle, Bay Area, Portland, LA, Sacramento
Personal trips elsewhere for family stuff, but work travel was one-dimensional. Now zero-dimensional.1 reply 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -

Nomad solastalgia. Homesickness for the itinerant lifestyle, paid for by others. This is probably the end of that lifestyle even after Covid. Air travel limited to essential family stuff and rare vacations. Good for climate, bad for my sanity.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1305252776125947908?s=21 …

Yeah. I’ll have to learn (I never have, for a variety of reasons) placemaking.

I refuse. I shall turn into a resentful globalist being a pain in the ass for placemakers and localists.
