I hear this mentioned a lot A) What you wrote: Not to mention the brightest engineers, managers are being sucked en-masse into FAANG and the supporting industries, where they waste humanities potential into improving engagement by 0.001%. But then, if everyone did what I did, could capitalism even survive? B) What people say about 'the brightest wasting their time on Wall Street instead of creating things' * Why are we assuming these people would do something meaningful with their lives if they were not working on 'better advertising and better conversion' ?? Perhaps they would just be doing something else that pays well but has little long term contribution to humanity
