>>190187790I try to think about it along the lines of being a more of a producer than a consumer, with the extra dimension of what you consume being of higher quality from the aspect of self-improvement (be that in skills or ability to introspect) and hopefully producing something that allows others to do the same
When you realize that a select extreme few people have massive impact on humanity (for example, most of internet encryption traffic comes from the combined effort of maybe 5 guys, 500 if you include the people who analyzed their work and wrote the original code) and we all benefit immensely.
When automation kicks in we are going to have to figure out a way to weed out the people who are such an extreme detriment and net negative on resources and social cohesion, that's why guys like Bill Gates and Rosicrucians talk about depopulation so much. They're talking about culling the NPCs.
>>190188015that's literally where I am in my life right now, after a solid 6 years of a pretty decent career in tech I'm extremely burned out
now I get why people build systems for reliability and scaling, dealing with users fucking sucks
