So how does this apply to software then? Why are silent people in the software industry "meat based weapons" and what for?

  "software" does not means only developers, PMs and code monkeys, but also "moderators" for GAFAM and their Chinese/Russian counterparts, who normally happen to be very stressed and little paid censors, i.e. meat-based weapons against their own co-Citizens. But also those who act a bit like code monkeys to develop common crapware so many use, mostly in web and business crapware etc. They all contribute to DESTROY IT and civilization together. I just only suggest a thought: did you noticed how many now can't use pen&papers properly for instance to write something a bit more long and complex than a quick few words note? Well, there is nothing wrong in that IF they know to do the same with some other mean... The issue is that they do not equally know how to do on a computer. Actually we have even lawyers unable to format a decent letter without a template on a computer or by pen&paper. I call them skilled illiterate... And that's not only about a letter, for diagrams, simple drawing it's the same. Most can't even IMAGING doing something like humans have done on paper 10+ years ago with a software, they can't imaging having in a unique documents some text, formulas, a plot, an email etc. They are so trained that you need a different program for anything (because that's good for business) that they feel the WOW effect just seeing a modern limited and limiting "notebook UI". Some colleagues (sysadmins and some devs) have a similar effects seeing me with Emacs, many at first demo act like children in front of something new that seem magic to their eyes. That's is.
