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.

I never knew how <deleted> my life was till I discovered Thailand, but it was <deleted>.

You have a choice?

I don't want to be 100, or even 80. There is absolutely nothing in a "rest home" that I want to experience as a unit of income for the greedy corporation that will run it for profit.

LOL. I'm pretty sure most use the word science to describe the scientific process, rather than Og the caveman discovering that fire made him warmer and frightened wild animals, or that Ug the cavewoman discovered that a tree trunk could be used as a roller, and subsequently a wheel.

IMO you don't.

I disagree. We have been around for 50,000 years or so, most of that entirely without the presence of "science". One doesn't need any knowledge of science or physics etc to invent a crossbow, a longbow, armour, the wheel, chimneys etc etc etc.

In the post you quoted I wasn't referring to "science", but his opinion. Soooooo science isn't fixed? Perhaps someone should remind the politicians that have jumped on various bandwagons of that fact.

If they come up with the scientific possibility that "God" does exist, after all, a few of us will be laughing like drains. After all, in a multiverse with infinite possibilities "God" is not such a stretch to accept, IMO.

Do you forget that without doing things like sending things into orbit a lot of people would lose their income, and might have to work in the real world for a pittance like ( IMO ) most do? Having discovered most of the easily ascertained facts IMO they are now trying to invent new ways to get those luvverly big grants. I saw several garbage science projects in Antarctica myself, none of which have benefited humanity in the subsequent decades.

You think humans couldn't invent stuff without a "scientist" being involved? Most of humanity existed before "science" even became a word.

IMO science just "is". Whether it is beneficial is down to the use that is made of it and that's by fallible, greedy and corrupt humanity. I'm sure there is plenty of science that would be beneficial if used, but wasn't profitable enough to be put into use.

If I could go back to that moment I first saw my wife to be I would still follow through, as we had a good life for some years, but I'd do a lot of things very differently, such as refusing to go live in the village, which was when it started to go wrong. What I'm asking, is, if you had the chance, would you avoid her completely as too toxic to contemplate, or, was there enough potential to try again, but not same same?

It's located at the Iron Bridge end of Loi Kroh Rd. Went past it the other night and it was closed up. Big hole in the ground next door which makes me think the area is going to be rebuilt.
