The direct answer to your question is that it's a deep rooted cultural problem that has been with us since the beginning. The problem is the culture of extreme individualism and anti-intellectualism. People want to be completely free and unrestricted in their behavior, whether that harms others or not. Ultimately the desire for the freedom to harm others with impunity is what leads to where we are now. The rich want to be able to exploit their workers harder, men want to be able to beat and rape their wives and control their entire life, pedophiles (see endless stream of republican pedophilia controversies) want everyone to make more babies for them to rape, landlords want to take all your money for the privilege of having a place to sleep, every company that sells goods or services wants to fleece you, and all of these assholes want to have zero consequences for their actions. They gaslight the normies into distrusting the scientists, the educated, the compassionate, because they would actually help people. It's not even about greed really, it's about the ultimate extreme of personal freedom. Money just makes you more free.

So why haven't we done anything? People have, there's just a lot of people who want this to happen. A lot of people would cheer as they send me to the gas chamber. The majority of my extended family probably would.

I hate this place

As someone who has recently been the person who doesn't care anymore, but has also been the one who does, you aren't doing yourself any favors clinging to someone who isn't interested. It's just going to hurt both of you the whole time and end the same anyway. You can't change their feelings or your own feelings, but you can let them go and try to move on. It sucks and it hurts and it feels like such unfair bullshit, but in the end you will be better off without them, and as painful as it may be to hear they will be better off too.

Hey yeah I'm here about the pipeline. Is there a queue or something?

From a practical perspective highly religious people tend to very anti-intellectual so anything evidence based tends to draw a larger proportion of atheists. Universities are historically the places with the largest concentration of atheists, but working professionals in the STEM disciplines, often being highly educated, tend to also be atheists. If the dominant religion has specific times when people gather for their collective indoctrination, people absent from those gatherings are more likely to be atheists. These are just generalities though. I've definitely met some highly educated nutjobs who believed some crazy bullshit outside their field. Good luck out there.

Edging can be a fun zesty experience

What's habits precious?

Cheating on exams by gaining a deeper understanding of the material so you can just rederive the answers during the exam.

Every accusation is a confession.

The true answer, which not one single CEO will ever want to hear until the problem becomes so dire it threatens the business, is if all the tools available are hot garbage, it's time to build your own. Generality in software has a cost, and for large multidisciplinary problems like job tracking or ticketing, that cost makes developing an in-house tool for solving your specific problem and your specific use case much more efficient than what any general tool could produce. All those stupid features that some other company depends on, or no one uses, or are only there because someone was trying to capture all possible use cases, can simply not exist. That makes the tool faster, more efficient, simpler to use, and when you realize there's some feature that would be really valuable you can just implement it rather than cludge together some half assed version in someone else's proprietary shitpile. There is a scale where things like jira make sense, but much like cloud services it's a technical trap because by the time you realize the tool doesn't really work for your use case it's too late to switch. At that point you're already past the point you need to start developing your own tool, but the sunk cost fallacy is a bitch and there's never enough funding for that. Pay no attention to the csuite salaries.

Wanted to know if they made any real advances in muscle actuators so I looked this up. They're pneumatic, and the model in the photo barely moves and doesn't stand on its own. An article said they will switch to hydraulics in the future. Neither pneumatics or hydraulics is efficient enough to be useful in a standalone human sized machine, so this looks like more of an art piece aimed at fleecing some idiot venture capitalists.
