  • It’s the hero myth that came to life at the time of Beethoven, of a misunderstood genius. Yes that guy was pretty good at what he did, but it was simply that he got progressively deaf and couldn’t socialize with people anymore.

    From that to marvel movies stereotype of one man prodigy and media idolizing individuals with sob stories.

    Look at Nobel prizes in science, they’re often multiple names, and behind each names there’s countless decades of graduate students contributions and their teams.










  • Engineers are workers. Well paid yes, but you’re going against the wrong people, they’re not capitalists and don’t make the decisions that matter.

    Then, why do you think an a economy post capitalist wouldn’t be able to develop smart phones? Do you think we’d return to feudalism and the world would devolve into dark ages and all the scientific knowledge would disappear?






  • I don’t know, I still want to do something but I don’t think street protests are enough. And I am against violence.

    With Ukraine I donate money, early on I donated for buying drones. With Palestine it’s so bad that I think donations won’t reach them.

    Source: I grew up in 3rd world countries where pacific protests for teachers salary are common place but won’t solve anything. I’ve also lived in another 3rd world country with strong unions where at least once a month there was a 1000 people protest in the main street in the capital, plus ad hoc protests that are much bigger, and that country is still sinking very fast.
