This process is a bit of a scammy to say the least. I can understand why people would want nothing to do with it. Apart from the suit of sleazy law firms that offer to “help”,similar to other visas the us applies a quota per nationality, with waiting times of many years depending on where you are from. Unless you have $500k to throw away it is not a viable option as far as I could see.

The theory seems well supported. Unless the ‘evil demon’ of epistemology is having his way with us...

I’m not sure that’s settled.

Stop giving creedance to people that can say with a straight face “the science is settled”. That would be a start. It’s the oxymoron of our times.

I was consumed by df for about six months to the detriment of everything else.

I’ve never been able to go back, but I always remember it as the best gaming I ever did.

Df is a piece of art comparable to anything created by mankind to date. In a 1000 years I believe df will be compared with Mozart and the Mona Lisa.

And hopefully they’ve improved the efficiency... I want my descendants to be able to build that 1000 dwarf fortress!

This is not true. What happens in the real world is that the communal mower will be hogged by the committee members put in charge of managing the mower. They need to do this for the good of the community. Pretty soon they will need to manage other community resources. Some animals are just more equal than others after all.
