If people want to move to your country it means your country is doing well! If they're willing to brave the Darien Gap or risk their lives on the open seas or the threat of federal goons that's an amazing indication. Reverse migration only happens when you're a miserable nation of no value

when I was single and flush, I liked paying, because why not? whee! random money! but many women paid for themselves/let their date pay for it as a signal.

which led to some awkward/unexpected outcomes.

the LBK people also seem to have been ecological specialists, not generalist farmers. usually agricultural populations bounce back, but if the specialist knowledge wasn't transmitted...

it's doubly interesting because the LBK material indicates an egalitarian culture. not many signs of rank or position... except ending up headless in a ditch.

mentioned elsewhere that as an American, conformist pioneer agriculturalists in a hunter-gatherer landscape reminded me of THE CRUCIBLE.

(I wonder if Niven was inspired by John Portman-designed hotels, which still look futuristic.)

the beginning of RINGWORLD has a scene where a 200-year-old man is teaching a 20-year-old woman "straddle position," which tells me Niven's far future Earth is wildly backwards in two completely separate ways.

what I think is throwing people off from this understanding is that psychotherapy was an elite, urban, professional, emigré and also Jewish-coded phenomenon for so long in the US, but today it's, I dunno, some self-diagnosed wook on TikTok.

please, the lost George R.R. Martin series is the Tuf Voyaging ecological engineer series of short stories, which is as sexless as the issues of Analog where it appeared.
