Urm... i can see almost all of those except for science, hobby, and
occupation (science is reproducible, what does hobby have to do with it,
and you can always leave your job).
i suppose there's cargo cult science, hobby addiction ("Even though it
kills my wrists, i keep playing netrek because it's fun, see?" "Yeah,
sure, THAT makes a lot of sense, uh huh"), and lack of employment
opportunity...
Perhaps this should be moved to ideas?
