>not only can't do anything about it, but you'll never know.

And what would you do if you are there in person? Challenge them to a duel?

This whole scenario sounds very paranoid to me. In my experience if you treat people decently and perform OK most co-workers won't talk negatively about you behind your back. Or maybe I just never noticed... it did have 0 impact on me though if it happened.

> remote work, overall, is inefficient

I dont see how one anonymous poll at a FAANG company proves that. Just because you are doing busywork doesn't mean it's efficient. FWIW I agree with your other points.

>the number of ways of earning a living shrinks

Is this true? it seems there are new ways cropping up all the time

you are reading something into my comment that is not there - I was saying immortal life would be a meaningless existence and no panacea to the human condition. Trying to escape death is not only futile, it is a waste of life. You are right of course, we should all touch grass more (I.e. really live) instead of trying to "solve" the human condition.

Death is the beginning and end of everything. There is more to existence than your ego.

More time is fine but don't waste it by trying to avoid death (protip: you can't)

I have no problem with prolonging life but trying to become immortal is dumb (and you will fail)

I will spend my time living instead of trying to avoid death.

Death is not bad - without it life makes no sense. Being 30 forever and immortal would be my definition of hell. Death is doing a great job, leave it alone.

Chugging 300 pills per day - you will still die.

It is inevitable.

I didn't know the details of the case or am a lawyer; it just seemed this was what op was talking about. but looking into it the case seems pretty clear cut.

the death sentence is still a barbaric practice.
