You cought us. Our living standard is just for the show, in reality we can't even afford air conditioning or a drying machine(?)

Europe (read Europe, as one one large country, with no differences at all) is definitely a horrible place to be.

paywall!
There's always archive.ph and so on but there's also the summary: Europe is the world’s most wonderful museum, but at the end of the day I want my air-conditioning and clothes dryer. So definitely a thoughtful piece about human culture, the meaning of life, and the meaning of meaning. Just kidding.
