I get it, but I want you to recognize that thinking there isn’t a way to improve things can be seen as propaganda. I understand that the situation can feel bleak and hopeless, but what I try to do is look for small changes. While we cannot make all necessary changes quickly, we can make a small difference, even if it’s just a little. If things are too difficult, there’s no shame in surviving as long as possible. Sometimes, all we can do is buy ourselves some extra time.

I mean, probably the ones who have an internal locus commit suicide at some point unfortunately. The fluidity of relationships today and people connecting by tech significantly increased the transactional aspect of modern life.

The article illustrate the Hypergamy concept. The men in that case might feel inadequacy after leaving the traditional role of breadwinner, which caused cognitive dissonance in his leftist views and make him vulnerable to the propaganda.

You are a person who values efficiency, there are companies that will take advantage of that and make you burnout then fire you if you don’t have protections or do not live in a country that have them.

Some of those people that you noticed also someday wanted to make everything better and efficient, but they can’t, because most companies follow a hierarchy that do not accept changes coming from bellow to the top.

You already noticed that you can become like this, the difference will be your values, ethics and which companies will you work for, some companies can and will make you fall into hierarchy and conformism, unfortunately.

If you are young and have that option maybe search for more flexible jobs where they will accept ideas and try things like startup’s but they are often chaotic and unstable also.

I hope some of it help you, be careful to not burnout think about the long-term also.

It is the Tendency to speak rapidly and frenziedly, as if motivated by an urgency not apparent to the listener if she is bipolar antidepressants could be too stimulating cause a person to feel the need to talk a lot and feel very uncomfortable when people are silent or between topics.

You are free to dislike people and to choose who will be your friends, your sister also have this freedom, maybe you could offer help if things get too rough with Lena, and give advice if needed, helping people is not easy specially if Lena doesn’t accept it or want it.

If she is bipolar antidepressants could cause her to have pressured speech, if I was you I would observe her behavior and see if she are having difficulties or another symptoms and talk with her doctor directly.

"In more practical use, technocracy is any portion of a bureaucracy run by technologists.

Critics have suggested that a “technocratic divide” challenges more participatory models of democracy, describing these divides as “efficacy gaps that persist between governing bodies employing technocratic principles and members of the general public aiming to contribute to government decision making”

The above is from wikipedia and I must say I’m not an expert.

Academic ruling doesn’t mean an ethical ruling, it try to put efficiency above social cohesion pushing people foward and discarding the people who do not adapt since they are considered dead weight.

For me it’s clear that the powerful elite of techbros are using information to gather power, political power is becoming weak since it cannot rule what it doesn’t understand well, leaving most tech somewhat deregulated, this bottleneck allow technology to fill the gap, illustrate by Musk government and Trump being somewhat sidelined.

America is becoming a technocracy and the political class are so paralyzed, they think a technocratic government would have space for them because they are rich and powerful now.

Won’t companies just avoid tariffs? They can’t just finish the products in another country? Poor and small companies on other hand are fucked since they don’t have a lot of money to evade tariffs.
