I’m being pedantic but while external factors definitely can cause big jumps in tech, everything is always interconnected. We can’t discover rocketry without previous leaps in material science, those were impossible without manufacturing and mining infrastructure, those not possible without agriculture and sociological structures and organization, not to mention all the associated advances in mathematics etc

I'd argue its from attention seeking from lonely people online. Being a rage troll is the quickest way to get some kind of interaction, and being online means theres less consequences for it

I have been quoted 500$ to fix a stuck gascap cover, because apparently the spring is inside and attached to the rear body panel, and would require a major part replacement.

As someone who is a late bloomer there is definitely benefits but also realized that I am almost always going to be the center of attention a lot of places I go

It’s not fun being in a coffeeshop and having middle age women blatantly stare at you and jockey to sit uncomfortably close. I’ve even had a few touch me without even speaking to me

Same people who run these kind of scams are often narcissistic. They are “so smart” they got away with the first crime, they believe they have a magic touch and can get away with anything.

Plus these are not the type of people who would enjoy being disconnected from high society, they need external validation.

Her is a forward looking movie in a lot of ways

Kids born today will grow up with their phones/device being their best friend and pet, like a Pokémon. You will be incredibly socially shunned if you don’t have one, and corporations will have not only data but an emotional hook into you for life
