"Pro or anti orange flavored soft drinks?"

Permalink

"I can't tell - I am extremely happy this exists and the fact that it is so orange is really impressive and it has tastes I've never thought to encounter in a drink which is also good in many ways. And it was so affordable for something so novel! I am excited about that in particular."

Permalink

"Welcome to the future, we have things that are cooler than orange soft drinks but we also have those."

Permalink

"We had orange soft drinks in the past but not quite this orange or this... something. Also yes you do have cooler things, like widespread vaccination against the flu, pictures from the moon, and McDonalds."

Permalink

"Should I have taken you to McDonald's?"

Permalink

"Possibly, yes? I have gone there several times though I have yet to figure out how to ask for a tour of the kitchen and have to go by images I can find on the internet."

Permalink

"So it's the industrialized process as much as the food?"

Permalink

"Cooking is just a very common sort of industrial process, I think."

Permalink

"Well, yes, but quantity has a quality all its own."

Permalink

"It's the affordability I find really amazing - the poorest people being able to afford to go out to food every day is not something that you would get in my time."

Permalink

"I don't think the literal poorest can but the merely very poor can go order off the dollar menu, yes."

Permalink

"It's a big improvement on people having to spend so much time cooking, I think."

Permalink

"There's tradeoffs involved but it's nice to have options."

Permalink

"You can also order food on the phone which is amazing and definitely the sort of thing that would been reserved for the rich in my time."

Permalink

"By the time we had phones where you could access services that did that it was not remotely rich-only. Everyone even the rich benefits from network effects."

Permalink

"Yeah, everyone benefiting from network effects is one of my favorite things."

Permalink

"It's a cute choice of favorite thing."

Permalink
Permalink

"One of my favorite things is disease eradication!"

Permalink

"That is also a very good favorite thing!"

Permalink

"We got smallpox, did you know that yet?"

Permalink

"I did! I'm proud of humanity about that."

Permalink

"Mm-hm." A toast, with Haru's water and Lucien's orange Fanta.

Permalink

"To eradicating smallpox?"

Permalink

"To eradicating diseases in general."
