6-7% of 1+ million software engineers (according to BLS) is a lot of actual people.

Stats have ground truth underlying them. 6%-7% is less text than the big numbers popular for brevity. But it’s just mathematical euphemism for a real count.

Agree. We lean hard into sunk cost fallacy when it comes to job training.

“If your name is Farmer you’re a farmer.” mentality but self selected euphemism. “I trained as a software engineer and that’s what I am for 50 years! Dag gubmint trynna terk my herb!”

Service economy role play is the root of brain dead job life we’re all suffering through.

Am constantly reminding people my gait is off due to post surgery scarring internally creating a tension.

Now everyone gonna think I’m autistic. Not that there’s anything wrong with being autistic. It’s the pop science mindset of the aggregate that’s the problem.

There’s a lot of phrenology and humours type pseudoscience within these analysis. Social gossip effort to normalize what we are despite physics we cannot control making all those choices for us.

IMO those things you mention as being what really prevent us are emergent evidence we are not evolved enough for space travel though. Biologically or socially.

It will never happen. Zero evidence any organic as complex as a human can move planets. It’s not an emergent event that’s common enough for us to have observed so far it’s too unlikely.

Some dried goo in a meteor or some poetic notion of consciousness being the innate physical interaction of electromagnetism and matter such that consciousness is everywhere and imagining the potential is as good as humans will ever get.

Yeah this. What should irk about search bar is cannot be moved. The static nature of UI these days stinks when back in the day we aimed for more composable user facing apps. Mod games by dumping a model file in a dir; boomed recomposed the experience.

Now it’s all micro transactions so an MBA doesn’t have to work anymore.

Now those are power user and dev tools and users get what they decided was the just right info dense or sparse design.

You ever see that video of the flat Earther who disregarded what his own eyes saw for his memorized semantics?

Your ex workers goto work whistling Star Trek TNG theme song?

Come on… the shit people believe? Some people just “believe” to make money but so many many more believe in American civil religion, or whatever stream of consciousness they simmered in early on.

I’m not hating. I’m saying direct experience is truth not our visual syntax. Still waiting for my nuclear powered… everything. Where’s my mini commuter helo and …etc etc etc

It’s a government job with extra steps. No hate. Good grift if you can get it.

NASA going back to the moon and Musk to Mars is nothing but pipe dreams to sell the story mode types.

The US government has pivoted to animal husbandry of the populace through techno police state, and handing sycophants to power their own title, land and serfs
