The Haircut Principle
I talked to Eli 20.10 last night, and he said he'd gotten a haircut.This is a normal thing to report, but then he spun it into something much more interesting: he said you're not integrated into a city until you get a haircut there.
When I go on a trip (correction: when I'm forced to go on a trip), I get a haircut right before I leave, and it wouldn't even cross my mind to get a haircut while I'm away.
If you're somewhere long enough to need a haircut, though, it means you've settled in.
This line of thinking will be known from this day forward as The Haircut Principle.
