Looks like what he was saying to me is "let's negotiate, for once, instead of Germany passing down diktats and Greece being made to follow them", because if this gets into a pissing match, both sides have options, as negative as they are in the long-term for everyone. Germany could devalue the Euro, it would solve a lot of problems in the Eurozone periphery if this was the case. But this would have a knock-on effect on the German economy....Germany would rather rule in economic hell, than have to accept a comparatively weaker position in a stronger Europe. Which would steal the joy from German life even more :sad:
Besides, it's not like endless rounds of austerity are actually meaning the Germans will get their money back. The Greek economy shrinks after every single round of cuts. 5%, year on year. The only thing the Germans are refusing to have cut in Greece is the military...which gets an extra 1.2% of the GDP spent on it, in comparison to other EU countries, and is four times the size of the British military as a proportion of the overall population. The reason for this is that the Greek army is the largest importer of weapons in Europe, and those weapons come from....Germany. The German arms industry lobbies the German government because losing out on lucrative weapons deals would also steal the joy from their life.

Yeah, it sounds easily fixable. As in "turn off the cell phone and do what ya want to do, fuck 'em."
Seems like an overgeneralization to start talking about the genetics of "Germans".
In my little corner of Germany (in a big city in the former East) a lot of people have a lot of fun... Probably more people are miserable but it seems to be that way in most places I've been.
Just yesterday, me and the g/f popped out to hang out on this bridge in the park where a lot of hanging out takes place whenever it's warm, and were then steered off course by a weird hippie party with a few dozen people, basically just in the middle of the park, minutes away from the city center...
This kind of stuff happens here every day...
Not that Germany isn't ridiculously oppressive and repressive. It is. But that's a matter of institutions and culture, which are a matter of history...
BTW, I'm just skipping hirley's posts because they seem hard to parse... That's what everyone does, right?
(And yeah, I'm here again, keep yer pance on.)

:? Did you read the article? It's not about genetics at all, the researchers used DNA as a metaphor. It's about institutions and culture and the effects of pressure on the psyche.
QuoteDuring the course of the study, the researchers managed to unlock a typically German sequence of steps to enjoyment, which they named "pleasure DNA." The first step involves the feeling of having earned something. This is followed by preparation for the longed-for pleasure, such as booking a day of wellness treatments. But then comes the biggest hurdle: letting go and clearing the mind. Only when a surprising positive moment supervenes can a fully integrated sense of enjoyment follow.
It's not an especially well-written article, but it's interesting and has an amusing headline.
I read hirley as long as im at home and not viewing from my phone.
