Also if you’re talking specifically about the planes in the boneyards, would not recommend doing that in the desert. You will find some other “visitors” like rattlesnakes, scorpions etc. that have made the plane their habitat.

Depends. Taking pictures in front of or around the planes is no problem, but majority are pretty much sealed off. That said, most of the bigger aerospace museums have several planes and helicopters with cockpit and cabin access.

If you’re ever in the Tucson area, highly recommend Pima Air Museum.

Would not recommend visiting between May-September as it feels as if you’re walking around in an outdoor blast furnace.

Neil Postman called this the “Peekaboo World”.

“What steps do you plan to take to reduce the conflict in the Middle East? Or the rates of inflation, crime and unemployment? What are your plans for preserving the environment or reducing the risk of nuclear war? What do you plan to do about NATO, OPEC, the CIA, affirmative action, and the monstrous treatment of the Baha’is in Iran? I shall take the liberty of answering for you: You plan to do nothing about them.”

If this subject interests you, and you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend the book Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman.

Nothing wrong with being a solo founder and I doubt the two “90%” reasons you cited are true the majority of the time.

That was a thing already, in the 1960s and 1970s lots of pulp paperbacks had ads for cigarettes and cheap cologne between chapters, for example.

I agree, many of these clichés are just verbal shortcuts to a pretty useful filter:

"This is not important for me to think about or discuss right now."
