7. It is also an incredibly limited and myopic worldview

It reveals a very superficial comprehension of how other humans think or of how life works.

It’s at the top that Idiocracy is prevailing..Guys like Lawrence Summers organizing society. It’s not hard scientists in the natural sciences or medicine or even hardware/civil/mechl or electrical engineering.

It’s with this alarmingly “dimensionally”(? Don’t know what the best term is) limited worldview of the software engineer but still with enough superficial number crunching to manipulate human behavior without bothering to understand oneself or others to see the whys of human behavior…How a person behaves is easy to track. Why is far more complicated.

And just as economics tries to suck away all the oxygen on the softer side in any material way without delivering much going strictly by the state of earth today, so does software engineering try to in the harder side and make it weirdly culturally political much like the GOP, over any more ecofriendly or scientific or actually economically labor friendly ways..it’s why I am filing a complaint where I live about the last 14 years and against my last employer in official channels later but post Trump. I can’t be expected to take this MAGA/MAHA contingent seriously.

All that is really too cringy to be worth saying. But well …shrug. I never had any mental health issues but political health issues..chronically.
