Probably. We might all be brains in jars.
How's the 'deep cut' of the post healing over? Any insights to share?
The deep cut has formed into a rift. I'm almost completely burned on the notion of doing any good in this world with my tech skills. I'm applying to work at a university now, which at least is a bit more of a public service. But it still is selling the next generation on corpo tech, and credentialism.
I'm not sure my money work can ever really be a net good.
Yeah, but that beats making another freemium app or rowing Bezos' boat. Keep your chin up, and make sure you and your own are OK. There will be no revolution if all the altruists are already bled out, you hear me?
Thanks for this. There are no perfect solutions in this world, and you're right--it's something. Maybe I can use what influence I have in this role to set up the next generation of tech workers to do better than we did.
