What Is Most Important?

I have no more issue with the average Russian than I do with the average Chinese person. They are victim of decades of abuse and propaganda from their own governments. In my travels, I have found that every day Russians and Chinese people are more like us than a lot of people from other countries. Russia as a monolith I have no sympathy for, but I think any person using common sense is the same. 

I am reminded at this time that:

- Atheists have lower rates of unwanted pregnancy

- Atheists have higher rates and more thoughts of altruism

- Democratic countries with more Atheists have much better social safety nets, i.e. they consider it more important to take care of their fellow humans

- Democratic countries with more Atheists take better care of the environment

- This is an audio site. People should take their religion, and other issues somewhere else or I will fill the need to remind them of their and their beliefs flaws.

@firstgrowth , the comments may be in jest, but obviously some have access to higher quality than others.

Except @nonoise, the Jewish genetic deviation is one of the lowest of any races, and in theory in the time of the bible, at least Jesus, could have been Ashkenazi, who by the most recent genetic studies have a predominantly European genetic lineage maternally, and middle eastern paternal lineage (which can often be fair skinned). So who is to stay whether people in the Bible were white, olive, brown, black or whatever. A significant portion would have been fairer skinned, and a significant portion likely more olive/light brown, but even if genetically fairer skinned, their genetic lineage, coupled with lack of sunscreen would have resulted in a deep tan on observed skin.

But the bigger question of course is what the heck that has to do with audio let alone this conversation? When were philes ever big on facts?

Is this one of those "Everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi" moments? So hard to tell for sure.

To respond to the ops actual question, for ultimate enjoyment, being able to share it with other people. When you are your death bed, are you going to remember back fondly to that time you were sitting in your basement, alone, listening to a great track?  Unlikely and I hope not. Sitting with a good friend, sipping some premium Scotch, and enjoying tunes .... quite possibly.   I would rather make memories than pass the time.
