Southern Europe would have been my immediate option. Places in Northern Italy, that mountainous belt from he Agean coast all the way to Portugal... one long ho-bo walk but ... I think I'd love it actually!
Thanks Farrage π€¬
S. E. Asia has a really interesting mix of Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslims.

For example Fiji is tiny, but off the top of my head about 1/3rd of that population is of Indian heritage, almost entirety on the main island, brought over by the British.
I have absolutely no idea how I'll find it or where I'll go but I can't keep on like this and the next election... I can't even contemplate.
The last ten years have been a nightmare and had I gotten out on my hunch back then, I'd be a relatively wealthy man with a family in Hungary.
I do wonder when he stopped going by his first name. That would be telling, possibly.

I really like these ideas. Especially if they can use the rooftop as a garden.

Henry should do the same with what I put their machine through.

"I them jobs:" a thought on wealth creation.
I gave you a job. He said.
A job is not an asset, it's a liability.
A job completed becomes an asset.
Where wealth is created.
A hole in the roof is a liability, a job.
A fixed roof is an asset.
Who is the wealth creator,
asset owner or roofer?

The rainforest the world forgot.
The Congo basin is the second largest rainforest on Earth, and a critical defence against climate breakdown and species loss.
Why then, is it so neglected?

We're told one of these land uses is 'productive', while the other is not.
But in terms of photosynthetic levels, as well as the production of clean air, water, no flooding, a stable climate, etc, etc, the natural ecosystem wins hands down.
As for biodiversity, let's not even go there.
Thanks ππ½
I'm really interested to know what people think after listening to this.
a BOLD CLAIM!
Fascinating conversation.
Halfway through, my brain is still spinning round the idea that life, (or code,) that copy's itself, is more stable.
So evolution of complex life, may be said to obey the second law of thermodynamics.
What do you think?
