If the average is HN, I'm not even in the fucking graph. If the average is people I know it's a very different outcome though...

  I disagree a bit. Because some autist can code and remember special case algorithms, doesn't mean they can have a conversation with people, convince them of ideas, or participate in the world. In this example, one can say "thank you" to computer science because those individuals only fit into a few buckets they can perform well. I believe we all have 100 points we divvy up into a few buckets (eg: logic, emotional, social, spiritual, etc). Some people might look down at people perceived as "less smart" - yet they might have huge skills in intuition, feeling, social constructs.

      Possibly. I believe God is a programmer and systems architect who wrote algorithms that control the bits (quarks/muons/atoms) to run the Universe.

        Yep, the other day on HN there was a new about some const that ruled the universe... I imagined that number hardcoded in some virtual env instance of our current existence, like if this is code it makes 0 sense we're the only runtime right? It's probably parallelized too... And I don't know but if god has any sense of humor/curiosity he might tweak or poke with the different settings at each level to see how it affects everything? lol
