I don't want to work in Sillicon Valley, even if the work is interesting. I live in Scandinavia and for me scandinavian countries are the best to live in the world.
You're used to that, and in a "measurable" way, it's semi-objectively true but it's not for everybody. I think it mainly was that I missed the sheer insanity of America where it is insane. It's something akin to codependency.
And given all that, I'd rather live in a Scandinavian country than SiVa.
Sweden for example has more billionaires per capita then the US. Norway have so much money in their oil-fund that they could pay every Norwegian 1 million NOK and still have money left. We're safe from any storms, earthquakes and basically all natural catastrophes. The most dangerous animal is pretty much the moose. Environmental issues will hit Scandinavian countries very late compared with the US.
