I've tried my hardest to use Linux but gave up. I want to like it, but the hurdle is too high to get everyone on board. At the end of the day, the computer is a tool. Maybe a hand made walking stick is better than a manufactured one - someone who is not versed in the ergonomics and construction of walking sticks is going to opt for the stick that enables them to walk today. I use computers enough to see learning Linux as an investment, it's just not something I have time for today.

I'm at my first office job. A lot of people seem to eminate of the same forced positivity I saw during college. I don't want to isolate myself, but I can't see myself making connections.

Crazy how ethics work. Like a pig might be more physically and mentally capable than an individual in a vegetative state, but we place more value on the person. I'm no vegan, but I can see the contradiction here. When we generalize, it's done so for a purpose, but these assumptions can only be applied to a certain extent before they've exhausted their utility. Whether it's a biological system or an electrical circuit, there is no godly commandment that inherently defines or places value on human life.

He isn't. Even so, how sincere do you take a billionaire making an argument against democracy?

It was a generalization about some estimates. Your comment is more accurate. We are exhausting scarce and finite resources. Economy will pivot to other sources when the cost is no longer effective.

Oil is set to run out as soon as 40 years from now. Explains the American panic to invade oil nations.
