I'm curious if you've ever put substantial thought into how human relations on planet Earth could be improved? To me, this is the sort of thinking that seems almost entirely absent among those who organize affairs - to me, it seems like people aren't even trying to make things better (on a more absolute scale, not the relative scale that people tend to use).

I think this might be a compliment? If so, thank you :) I have given it some thought in as far that the best I can do is get better at thinking and writing, so that I can publish my thoughts and insights on my blog. If reading them resonates with a few people, and helps them lead a better life, I will have achieved something meaningful. (I just linked my writing outlets in my profile). I also hope that openly writing about neurodiversity and mental illness will help deconstruct stigma, and I don't mind enduring whatever consequences this might have on my career. I don't think improving relations between humans is something I'd be good at at all, nor does it really interest me. However, the topic of doing good is becoming increasingly relevant to me as I just turned 40, and I am discovering that systems thinking deeply resonates with me. I will try to pivot into agritech or another climate change related topic soon. On a more prosaic level, hopefully I will become confident enough in my writing to try to distill what I learned about programming in the near future, and this might help people make a clearer point in technical debates here and there :)
