You won't get to ask Mr billionaire that while they hunt you for sport.

Well hopefully by that point I will be living in China and won't have to worry about that happening. lol

We live in the most boring cyberpunk dystopia
Which I only realize its boring to us because we live in it and we are fed up by it.
I'm sure people in the middle ages, people actually living under feudal lords would be fascinated by it.

Not even Cyberpunk, just dystopia. Normal, boring, dystopia. If we lived in a cyberpunk dystopia, I'd be able to chrome out my physical flaws.

That's why I'm heading to China. Chengdu, Chongqing, Beijing, Shanghai seem to be at the forefront of cutting edge cyberpunk-style shit.

Yes, supplement at home. Give your children context. I remember as a child i figured out that what I have to answer on tests is very different from what's true. Gotta thank my upbringing for that.

"mom, i 'd like to be a billionaire to go to the space!"

doesn't sound precisely good
