My friend in the sales dep always says “everything is sales”. Someone is selling to you and/or you are selling to them deliberately or not. Probably a cynical view of the world but I just remembered it while reading your comment.

The flip side of this will be if you are an outsider (immigrant or born into an unlucky family), you will feel more lonely because people are not gonna be as eager to find new bonds?

How is sharing about the often ignored and poorly treated people that made everything possible political? If so what isn’t? The games?

I disagree based on personal (anecdotal) data. When I get into a “flow” on a project I can work 12+ hour days. My productivity dwindles as the day gets old for sure, but I don’t think it ever gets to zero or close. I dream/think about

What data are you referring to? My original comment was based on anecdotal data tho. None of the people I know that refused the Covid vaccine (initially) had any issues taking other vaccines. One friend for example who was a vocal critic of
