    >SWEs could halt the fiat economy tomorrow through collective action From my experience, modern SWEs are the workers' category least likely to get involved in any kind of collective action. They're too self centered and individualistic for that. Everyone's too busy trying to get "theirs", while kicking down the ladder beneath them, thinking they'll be the next Larry Page. It wasn't always like this though. I think the insane demand and crazy compensation levels in the last decade changed the mentality and inflated the egos, reducing compassion and empathy, turning SWEs in the new finance bros, except more introverted and doing less cocaine.

Not to mention way too well paid, comfortable and with lots to lose. Why risk a very comfortable lifestyle for some noble goal that barely concerns you unless you have tons of empathy?
