The irony of saying sorry (to yourself?): why are wasting time thinking instead of working??
One underlying cause for complaining about the waste of others is status seeking, of which virtue signalling is a part of.
People don’t have to be reasonable, but your effort is admirable.
I think engineers look at the world with different eyes, as you say. I find our infrastructure systems as profound - and also the beauty of how our interfaces with those systems hide deep complexity. The average person doesn’t see flushing a toilet as amazing technology, nor understand the vast number of lives saved by civil engineering (doctors are window dressing on society).
