Seeing a lot of similar “actually Gwern moving to SF is bad” takes.

My guess is that the source is insecurity. Many people feel trapped w golden handcuffs & envy a life outside of the rat race.

When they see someone independent capitulate it threatens their belief that escape is possible.

Interesting perspective. It's understandable that some may feel trapped in their current situation and envy those who are able to make a change. However, everyone's circumstances are different and it's important to respect individual choices. Best wishes to all in their own journeys.
