Ever considered that everyone is doing everything all wrong and you're just feeding into the frenzy?

That's where I've come as a professional. I couldn't give a fuck any more about anyone's problems and I've learned that it has everything to do with creating pathways for people to communicate.

People are difficult creatures and academia has made us into basket cases unable to tie our own shoelaces without help from someone who will evaluate us and dangle a carrot in front of us for the effort.

How about getting over yourself with your corporate lorem ipsum and use the technology at your disposal to fix this dumpster fire of a planet we've made for ourselves?




Software isn't going to fix the planet. That was all bullshit to make rich people feel better about taking most of the USD funny-money. Strong centralized planning in the form of a functioning government, structured around resilience, erring ever on the side of direct democracy, fluid representation, and lifting economic victims over perpetrators in power is what will fix the planet. It's common sense. The software will simply be reduced, so people stop building the same thing over and over: it's stupid, always has been, and the cries for more devs were always just to make it cheaper and more disposable.


No! It's all the knowledge we've amassed that we hardly put to any use beyond milking it for entitlements.

Who ever speaks about our duty to our fellow man and the giants whose shoulders we stand on?

I blame a lack of classical education on this performance based meritocracy that's become a runaway train with no ethical brakes.
