Interesting discussion.
In light of what you mentioned there as well as remarks from others, are Africa, Asia, and South America places you would move to in general (if no obstacle in doing so were present) or in light of conflict between US and Russia?
I hadn't considered the potential inconsiderateness of search for and acquisition of knowledge. Interesting perspective. I recently checked out from the library a brief biography on Alfred Noble, which I have not read. I know nothing of this man but had been wondering lately. The book was in my face as I looked for one of Denmark Vesey. Your mentioning of it brings to mind the Rhodes scholarship and the man behind the name.
