This is why I became a consultant.

Paulo Freire writes of the oppressed being expected to import others in order to be included.

IMO our society could stand to demand less recognition of emotional demands of distant elites and landlords.

Americans are insanely entitled social police.

I’m all about lifting quality of life for the bottom at the expense of the top, cause let’s be real: it isn’t Elon or Gates literally conjuring those ideas and doing the work.

Somehow billions have been convinced to sign over the bulk of their value generation to people they don’t know.

Here’s a rich guy give him more money forever! is the new “belief” model.

How do I avoid adopting that belief behavior? Not meaning the literal trade, but the whole “accept that the rich are legally allowed to grift on collective effort”.

Behavior is constrained artificially for consistency. Because behavior is being managed by statistics and math is artificially constrained for consistency.

It would be immoral to to place figurative death on a living persons social status due to actual acts

But it’s moral to let people starve, die of preventable disease due to sitting on your ha day

Welcome to America’s emotional prison

Old people have convinced young people to pander to them until they’re the grave, they’re locking up the judiciary to force themselves on the future

And Americans sit here like coddled children

Isn’t that pretty much living in a sinking ship of a country?

No one here going to admit the top down political failures of the past aren’t able to handle modern reality?

There is no artificial shortage of code anymore. GitHub and GitLab are gutting that labor market. Who cares if they can’t make new code shapes? Business only cares that the machines keep sorting. Self aggrandizing nerds care about code shapes.
