I was thinking along those lines. No reason given for the number, pretty much pulled it out of thin air. When I was growing up we were told we would have too much population and wouldn't be able to feed ourselves. Now obesity seems li

Look at the third world for your examples. I do agree that living standards are going down in developed countries in many metrics.

A lot of STEM jobs are bullshit. Intellectual grunt work. Most people are fixing other peoples bugs rather than building anything innovative. And a lot of the "innovation" in tech over the last years has been a rehash of ideas fro

Lets face it job titles are a lot of bullshit. I was a "programmer". I call myself a "software engineer". I probably do better SQL than many data engineers / scientists, which is getting annoying as I am shoehorned
