I am quite excited to hear someone having almost identical views as I do, also being a software engineer (almost) in my mid 30s. As you also indicated I genuinely struggle to find people with similar frequencies and views.

You need to pass a color-blindness test to get a driving license in my home country and I can't tell you how much I struggled with it 15 years ago. The reason is exactly this -- I can work out traffic lights very easily although I'

I don't have any scientific proof but only a personal observation on this. This is the exact reason why I stopped using Apple CarPlay on my car but instead relying on (iDrive) integrated navigation. Here's my comparison with BMW&#
