“The odds are good, but the goods are odd” - why is SV full of wierdos? Part of the answer lies in social isolation. Whether you like it or not and regardless of personality, humans are social creatures. This was evident from covid. To avoid interacting with others is not only a disservice to your own growth but also to society. It is much easier to live in your own world then go out there and learn - books and the web are not substitutes. You see this effect on today’s generation who rely on internet bubbles, brainwashing and biases to inform their thinking, hardly having critical skills (ex: woke). You can only blame the system (big tech) to a certain extent, but the individual should ultimately take responsibility. Being born (disadvantaged) an introvert is no excuse as being born a foreigner (ex: H1Bs) or a sinner, you still have to do your best in becoming a better version of yourself.
