It is interesting that you get that out of what I wrote.

Oh wow. Talk about misreading. I totally read @payn s comment as making a joke. Never even considered taking it seriously.

The even worse mistake is my habit of thinking "oh, that title didn't seem like something where there was much interesting to say when I first noticed it two days ago, but somehow it now has 300 responses, maybe I should see what all the fuss is about."

I have never once not regretted learning what all the fuss was about.

You may go anywhere you wish--except where the doors are locked, where of course you will not wish to go.

Sir, may I please introduce you to the human race? Because our actions are often nonsensical and self-serving, and eventually someone will choose to take both options even if it hurts other people.

(I swear, these people either have a much more positive/optimistic view of the real world and our socioeconomic system than I do, or they just don't understand the scientific theory that supports the discussion at hand.)
