The dictatorship, and the whole process of its coming into being, was above all diverting. It provided an excuse not to think for people who did not want to think anyway. I do not speak of your ‘little men,’ your baker and so on; I speak of my colleagues and myself, learned men, mind you. Most of us did not want to think about fundamental things and never had. There was no need to. Nazism gave us some dreadful, fundamental things to think about—we were decent people—and kept us so busy with continuous changes and ‘crises’ and so fascinated, yes, fascinated, by the machinations of the ‘national enemies,’ without and within, that we had no time to think about these dreadful things that were growing, little by little, all around us. Unconsciously, I suppose, we were grateful. Who wants to think?

Can I ask what's the cutoff? How much money/how high of a position qualifies you for the electric chair?

A few years ago I was living in fear of local government turning internet into intranet north korea-style (dont ask). So - no joke - I've had factorio archived with latest versions of seablock, space exploration and nullius. Figured it'll keep me going for a decade or so.

It's a bad habit, to revolve your world around a single person. Desperation and lack of self-confidence is hella unattractive, in any type of relationship.

A mistake that I luckily did not make, ever, not once.

You folks are living in the stone age. In the current millennium, plenty of consumer-grade pre-built planets are available.

All you have to do is occasionally spend your weekend debugging incompatibility of gravity and quantum layers.
