Similarly if Joe starts doing cuthroat, unethical, machevillian things to benefit themselves its "antisocial" and to be discouraged

But if a blowhard wealthy silicon valley techno-autist does it its just the way of the world. "Don't hate the player, hate the game"

Delusional.

I never really enjoyed the work I was doing, but at least there was a glimmer of chance at something better before.

Now, not so much.

I love it

> you live in the best time to exist in history. Stop complaining. Imagine how bad it would be if you were a poor peasant farmer like all those people before you

> We don't need you anymore. Have you considered becoming a poor peasant farmer?

Isn't farming mostly automated anyways? I can't imagine China needs masses return to the fields for any reason other than go keep them occupied.

I took a calculus course in high school. There were maybe six of us. Everyone elss took stats. The teacher was fine, if if a bit. Most of us used the class as a goof off segment. I often snuck out to go work on freelancing projects I was doing at the time. We found we could mostly pass the course work could be plugging in to online solvers. The tests were heavily curved.

Frankly if you threw a simple derivative or integration at me these days I'd be staring at you like and idiot.

I remember snidely telling people I didnt care because it didnt need calculus to develop software. I do regret it.
