I didn't say that air is not science as indeed it is just air. Discovering the components of air would be science. Extraction of O2 from air is manufacturing/ engineering. As a qualified welder I'd like to see you weld steel with acetylene alone, however, yes, electric arc welding, is done without O2.

I have zero idea as to how I can type this on a machine here and it can be read all over the world in a matter of mere seconds. However, the OP is about whether it is beneficial or detrimental to do so, and I might well be better occupied doing something else. IMO science has enabled something so addictive I have spent thousands of hours typing things that will be forgotten by the next day, and of no ascertainable benefit to myself. I'll leave the reader to decide if that is beneficial or detrimental.

As a farang I had a far, far higher quality of life in LOS than in any other country I lived in. Switzerland may have a better quality of life in some people's opinion, but I'd never ever want to live there ( and I have been there ). "Facts are Facts, your misleading opinion doesn't really matter" Right back at you.

No idea what "If you completed your education, given up on health and decent health care" means, but I didn't consider my Thai family members' education, health care, or career prospects my responsibility as they were richer than I, and even had they been poorer I didn't marry them. I ignored the "culture" as much as possible, as it was always used as a way to try and make me give them money without any benefits to myself. I WAS an alien, and never allowed to forget it when I had to go to the immigration office 4 times a year. Foreign food in LOS was generally the same over processed, full of chemicals <deleted> that I live on in the west, and I generally ate the same food as Thais do at the same price as they.

We generally don't have much say in whether we get cancer or some other similar life destroying disease. Happiness usually departs once the medics destroy us to save us ( happened to me ). However, while I agree with the first being essential for happiness, I'd add money, as it's not much fun having to work in a sweat shop for 9,000 baht a month just to survive.
