He he...how would Nairobi even be a city?


Do you need europeans to call your areas cities for them to be cities?. What i meant, is that Nairobi, and the entire coutry would still be virgin, like it used to be for millions of years

Most of you would not be here! your parents met in school and since there would be no school you would not be here. secondly, you would have likely died from diseases along time ago or a snake bite or some random thing like being cut by a rock.

We would not be here but someone would be here!!. It is not always about us!!
Those who would be here, they would be having a nice life, don´t you think so?

NO!!! they would have crappy lives! ignorant crappy lives... they would all be dropping off like flies in their 30s. there is a reason we were 7M at independence and 50 years later we are 50 million. Cancers are visible for just 1 reason - we are living longer than those people. And before you start yapping you know of a grandmother who is 100 - she is a beneficiary of modern medicine. They would have been HAPPIER yes... but remember my formula - happiness is equal or greater than the outcome of events in your life - expectations.

They would have almost 0 expectations and thus whatever outcomes of their lives took place - they would be 'happier'... a 'happier' life and a 'nice' life are not the same.

Nope! I am saying they had way less and whatever they had as expectations were not as convoluted as ours.Their expectations were easy to achieve. They never aspired to go anywhere... you aspire to go to some place you have never been to. They never aspired to eat other people's food. They had a worldview that made sense of premature death, the death of infants. they did not seek-out romantic love using the same standards we have. The most beautiful person in their world was a person in their village or a next village. The person looked exactly like them, was shaped exactly like them. The guys in the Sentinel Islands are exactly like our forefathers. It was once stated that In the course of a day, the average person in a Western city (or a complex city like Nairobi) is said to be exposed to as much data as someone in the 15th century would encounter in their entire life. With this knowledge comes aspirations. The knowledge of the other... the knowledge of options and the desire to seek them out.

Most Europeans have almost everyhing a typical human being would wish to have, but nobody on this earth is as lonely as a european. This negates your facts, that abudance of data or material stuff directly translates to happines.A grandmother in Kisumu living on a dollar a day, but one who has connections to her children and grandchildren on most occasions, has a quality of life a grandmother in germany, who only sees her children once in three years, can wish for.
If i get old, i want to spend my sunset years in a remote village in africa.

no one is talking about happiness... the happiest people are the ones who have the least expectations! I have a whole thread on it. Since you cannot 'unknow' - is a happy but ignorant, crappy, short and brutish life better than a lonely long, predictable life?

Functioning health system,Security,No school fees,. Most europeans inherit not just from their parents but also from their uncles and aunts just because these uncles and aunts dont have children. This means their finacial stress is not that much like ours.
On the other hand,we have beautiful weather, beautiful parks and our food is clean

I read the neighboring tribes were nearly wiped out by diseases which made the sentinel islanders to have a tough zero tolerance immigration policy. In such small space must be a lot of inbreeding so genetically they are really weak. I don't get how that kind of living is happiness.

Young europeans struggling with huge student loan debts. Then after employment you have a 30yr mortgage hanging around your neck. Life is very difficult in the west.
At least in kenya you can do a harambee or get HELB, and then build a simba in your parents land ushago. Or buy a kaploti huko dustbowl and build pole pole.
