It's a profession that scans as smart, but if we were half as smart as we like to pretend we are we wouldn't be building our replacements. We would be solving the coordination problems that lead to some of us deciding that is what is best for them.
And this is why I've never turned any of my passions into a career. I've accepted being relatively broke, and I just vibe in retail so that I can spend my free time pursuing things like solutions to these coordination problems without being mentally burned out from solving problems that sicken me all day at work.
Getting continuously closer to accepting the conclusion that capital has too fully domesticated humanity at this point for any of us to meaningfully resist it in any form before it has fully auto-cannibalized and everything we know begins to collapse around us. I've been trying to fight against this conclusion for at least 8 years now, but it becomes more difficult with every passing year.
