Communities tend to attract like minded individuals. It’s not that everyone is exactly the same, but those that are very different or have very different opinions don’t generally stay for long. That said, even within those like minded individuals there’s a wide spectrum of opinions.

For me there are a handful of topics I know I’ll get down voted for sharing, because it goes against the majority. And that’s fine, it doesn’t stop me from sharing my opinion, and I don’t really mind the downvotes. I think in general though as long as you’re able to share your opinion with nuance and self awareness, and it’s not something mean or hateful people will hear you out.

Don’t worry, it’s fiction. It’s not real. No actual planets were harmed in the making of this game.

Did your brain die? Did you get reincarnated? If not, you’re the same you.

Sounds like allergies/asthma. I would go see an allergy clinic and get tested. If you find you have allergies you could consider getting allergy shots.

I think it really just comes down to scale. Relative to other professions there aren’t that many software engineers, but the work produced by each one has the potential to reach an extremely wide user base. Someone working at Google could write code that gets deployed on a billion devices. This is pretty clear when comparing between different software engineering roles as well. Companies that serve a global market pay significantly better than local companies.

On top of that, there’s no supplies or logistics required for software engineering. It just takes one person and a computer, so expenses are minimal compared to other engineering disciplines.

That’s only true if people that work in offices reproduce at a higher rate than the general population, and I’m not entirely sure that’s the case. If anything, societal trends have shown that in more developed countries where office work would be more common people are having fewer kids and populations are starting to decline.

True. I was thinking of the selective pressures of nature, but there are absolutely still self imposed selective forces acting on our species.

Natural selection hasn’t really applied to humans for thousands of years. We beat nature when we created civilizations. Which is partly why some of these less than ideal genetic traits go unchecked now in the population.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with quitting on a high note. Not everything needs to be milked until people are sick of it.

I think that’s just decorations.

You could do that with a few queries and a database lol. How do you think LLMs work? It seems you don’t know very much about them.

What’s wrong with globalism?

What’s wrong with automation?

You think airlines don’t make money on economy class? That’s the vast majority of their income. Of course they’re going to serve their largest customer base.

It’s the best way to sow division. Put everyone into discrete groups and tell them that the other groups are bad.
