That sounds primitive. Or overly, extremely pompous. One or the other.


It’s certainly an extreme reaction. But whether a culture’s values are primitive or advanced is a subjective qualification.

I’ll say I think it’s backwards. Non productive and extreme.

Transplanted onto familiar societies. There are often supporting structures in place to explain, if not justify otherwise wild attributes of societies.

It’s fascinating. Many cultures without significant technological growth have discovered remarkably complex and effective rituals in its place. That happens to be one of my current research focus areas.

Focus huh? I took you for a lab scientist, not a sociologist.

I don’t have a rigorous methodology for discovering such rituals. Uncovering those processes requires field work.

Sounds to me like you’re just vacationing to new places under the guise of science.

Some of the dimensions I investigate are quite nice. I maintain a directory of those worth visiting.

It’s common when vacationing to want to set aside time in the future to go back again.

When the location is pleasant, I consider it the best of both worlds. Not all of them are so fortunate.

Some desolate locations can be just as fascinating. One society I observed had no means of growing food and instead had to channel rather dangerous magics to acquire meals.

Are you absolutely certain? This was just for fun, and not to be rude, but you’re looking a bit worse for wear now.


The thrill is what makes it fun for me, being pushed to my limits.
