re: #100 Mich-again

Potentially wasting your life does not equal sacrificing it. Heck lots of people completely waste their lives but you wouldn’t say they actually “sacrificed” them. Thats a big word.

Well… gamble their lives. No one gets to be at the top of an intellectual field without spending years in solitude studying while everyone else is out having fun and making fun of the weirdo who spends all his days at the library. This computer I’m using alone must have been the product of hundreds of thousands of total hours and thousands of people stuck in a laboratory while other satisfied their every whim.
