I only upvoted to read the comments. I don't really think that the state of american public opinion is due to KGB subversion. I think it's because of the normal culture rot happening to any nation. In US's case the rot looks so dramatic because it's the most powerfull and rich nation in the world.

I don't remember who said it, but there's two things you can't really accept from a brother, their glory and their death.

Not 100% relevant with the original post, but reading it reminded me of it.

I tried many time to stop coffee and tea and for one year now I am sober. I am very happy with my decision. I feel much better and much less anxiety

I don't understand why you are downvoted, because you are right.

Conducting a successful career is also very hard. Let alone a successful marriage! Or getting fit, loosing weight.

You want to build a company? Just do it. It's not harder than other things in life.

Edit: some words.

This iPhone analogy is full of crap. Apple delivered the fisrt iPhone with the software it needed to be, in itself, very usefull! The app developers came after, when a user base had already been created.

Humans do not wage wars against animals, they use(d) animals to win wars.

Well what if in the future AI's use humans to wage war between them? That's a far more frightening future than human-weaponized-AI's I think. Food for thought.

This is very impressive that someone would take the time to experiment an document so thoroughly this product. I am thankful because I find this very interesting and I always thought of Magic Leap as vaporware.

The point that you dispute is the term addiction. You mention an "habit" for instance. My point is: video games can REALLY be an addiction even for older people.

I am self-employed (I actually run two small companies) and I sent some of my work days playing PUBG. Also I had less interaction with my kids and wife, and no other hobby really.

I looked at PUBG videos very often, sometimes live streams, at the office during the day.

I was thinking about PUBG all day long. It was bad.

As a 43 year old with two jobs and two kids, I found myself playing 500 hours of PlayerUnknown's Battleground in a few months. I had to uninstall the game.

The addiction was very real.

I agree. This episode is called The Celtic Holocaust. Great alternate read of the Gallic Wars by Caesar.

In this world we live in, not being profitable does not equate to disappearing.

Also Microsoft is basically competing with the entire industry on some level, so I do not see how them buying Github could be a good thing.
