This is way I feel, but my last stop is 10.15 (Catalina) having started with 3.2. Modern macOS is just trash. My goal over the longer term is to fully migrate to Android, especially desktop mode. There are several reasons for this but maybe

The less rigorous and more vague some theory is, the easier it is to use it to make unfalsifiable claims. That's the essence of the current discussion around AGI. No one knows what it is or describe it concretely so it can do anything

Not all ponzi schemes are dysfunctional, some are sustainable in the long term. For instance if you have an asset that appreciates over time and represents true value (say because it generates more income over time) then you can't real

Not when you realize that the economy is largely a huge ponzi scheme which requires a constant stream of new participants to prop up asset prices and generate economic activity. The care issue is real, not so much because we need people to
