Oh we're not surviving. We're thriving. We're chatting in a
  philosophy forum on the Internet.

  That means we have computers. We have Internetz. We have roofs
  over our heads. We can communicate in a common language. We can
  WRITE!

  In this little tiny corner of the gigantic Internet, we're not
  surviving. We're at the top 1% of things. Surviving? If you're
  chatting here, you're not surviving. You've already made it.
  Anything else is just greed and whining. I do it too.
