I think it's not anything wrong with you per se, nor have I read the book, but I think it's because like the author says, dealing with people on an individual basis requires personal sacrifice. Particularly, emotional sacrifice. A

This should say "many European cities". This is certainly not true anywhere in Texas, and probably not anywhere else in the U.S.

I sat in a ride a few weeks ago with a monitor in front of me hanging on the backseat, that I had no way to turn off, playing ads the whole time. I guess this is ride sharing's path to being profitable, more intrusive advertising. Or p

As an ordinary, middle of the road, adult, I wish my parents pushed me harder. Sure, I can do it myself now, but after 20+ years of building habits, it's very hard to change track, and so far I've been unsuccessful. Basically I ha

By that same logic, you shouldn't trust the creators of the monolithic black box either. So you can't trust anyone, except yourself and the OS only you have access to. In general, do you not find carrying this level of paranoia on
