For the love of God, please craft hobbies and an appreciation for life beyond abstract "utility" maximization. These freaks are so hyperalienated from their own existence that they can't conceive of themselves as anything other than an input. Sorry nerds, you won't find self-actualization by designing a marginally more addictive ad-software or another tulip bubble. Please stop eating the bugs and look at some art for a fucking change.

    An odd contradiction is that they advocate this lifestyle while also advocating technology like VR, which is completely incompatible with people living in this kind of space.

    I've argued about that exact contradiction with one of the exact people I mentioned before.

    His answer was NeuraLink(tm)(r). Just like in the Cyberpunkerinos. soypoint-1 no-mouth-must-scream soypoint-2
