> How much of the work I’m doing is driven by planning as opposed to circumstance

What question(s) do you ask the companies to get information for this?

Hey, I have read the discussion between you and insert_coin and I think you have slightly misunderstood what they are saying. From what I see, both of you are for improved lives of the historically-oppressed minorities in America. insert_coin said "I’m not saying do nothing" and I think that points to them disagreeing with the means taken to achieve the desired outcome (i.e. better lives for the minorities).

Interesting that I have been watching a long video (over an hour long) and the buffer is still loading while YouTube in general is down for me

> an almost emptiness or that of negative space, encapsulates and closes in upon the definition of "present moment".

It definitely feels like that more and more for me recently. Sometimes it feels like "I've watched these videos before" on YouTube or I find the memes on Reddit repetitive or unfunny. It gets to the point where I don't mind rewatching videos..

Any books to recommend for the topics you mentioned? Especially sql or mongo.

Even if the consequences of the dumb people's actions indirectly (or directly) affect your life?
