Nice answers. Follow-ups!

How do you like it?

I like the symmetry; the study of physical things, and the study of thought.

My guess was a high school teacher, but this works, too. My old man was a Marxist in high school for roughly the same reason.

Is this facetious, or do you actually, actively expect your worldview to change significantly? If so, doesn't that make it difficult to believe what you currently do? Isn't there a degree to which you can hurry along the process? Or is it something altogether different than that?

Interesting. So this isn't so much "Capitalism has failed us" as "Capitalism will fail us now that such-and-such is different"?

The phrasing intrigues me, though; "carried most of us comfortably through modernity." This makes it sound as if modernity (and the many comforts that come with it) is something that just happened, rather than something caused by it.

It's a good answer; by creative, I just meant I was hoping for something more interesting than the usual reasons given.

One day, then, we shall go, and you shall have one of those cookies, and it shall remind you of your childhood, and you will cry. And then you'll ask for another cookie, and all will be well.

I'll probably have the All-American Scrambler. Far less emotional.

Interesting. So, is it because of this phone in particular, or do you just really like flip phones and hate to see so few of them now? You're resisting the touch screen craze? If so, how long do you think you can hold out? I know you said "FOREVER," but realistically, the new ones are going to be too much to ignore for more than another year or two, yeah?
