xyz I wouldn't mind living in a cave btw. Have you ever been in one?
Uh… are you familiar with the term "speleology"? I was into it when I was younger. And karst caves and catacombs. So stories about the delights of cave life don't work on me at all — I know the reality from personal experience. Caves with toilets, hot water and central heating?
If the opposite of this approach always won, "we" would end up a civilization that sacrifices every bit of joy on the altar of unconditional progress.
The joy is in utilizing the fruits of progress. Reasonable, of course. With hedonism, certainly. ![](https://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/smoke.gif)
The humor is that now I am considering options to move from the city "to nature", including caves. But not out of love for primitive life, but because of the political situation. And I am not very happy about it, as I am well aware of the accompanying problems.
