one should seriously acknowledge how fast the world is changing and recalibrate their career plans
especially cs/eng degree students
- entry level tech jobs are becoming scarcer with layoffs + AI
- many big tech companies not giving return offers to interns
- swe’s who got laid
This means there REALLY is no reason to remain a 9-to-5 NPC drone anymore because you'll be unemployed in the next 5 years
If anything you should be starting a business right now and get out of the system of servitude that will just spit you out once AI can do your job

what the fuck is toronto’s cost of living??
the avg new grad swe salary in toronto is 85k cad
u lose about 20-25% in taxes (federal and provincial)
that leaves you with ~65k for the year, ~5.4k a month
rent is 1.5-2k even with a roommate

The fact that we’ve conditioned ourselves to see kids as an expense by default is a testament to how fucked up our culture is.
The cost benefit analysis doesn’t apply to kids - life is not dollar quantifiable.
do kids actually cost $200k I feel like that's one of those things everyone accepted but never actually debated. in practice its like what, food, clothes and a few toys? ez

living in east asia is the biggest blackpill because I’ve never once had to worry about
- leaving my phone/laptop out in a cafe,
- leaving shit in my car,
- getting mugged at night,
- stepping on needles, piss or shit
im sorry but the fact that when I visited my aunt & uncle they had to constantly remind me to not leave my backpack in their car when we went literally anywhere negates any argument people can make online

Over the past month, I was really blackpilled, thinking technology is fundamentally incompatible with human nature. That we should consider returning to simpler ways.
This year, the summit was themed around space exploration. Despite not

Short attention span programming are seriously making people ill. WE ARE FORGETTING HOW TO SPEAK AND THINK!
TikTok, nonstop action movies (Marvel), and midwit media scriptwriting are poison.
A slow poison that works over years to kill your mind’s ability and uniqueness.
The effects of YouTube and TikTok on popular speech are difficult to fully describe.
In a mix of engagement-optimization and intentional propaganda, Internet Speak is a new, global patois.
Symptoms include a discomfort with any silence, haltingly-delivered sentences, constant

It's very easy to become paralyzed wondering if what you're doing right now is the best thing for your career (me). But you can only realize if it was best in retrospect.

humanities is the worst. > 75% of their papers arent even cited once. peer review is a total circlejerk, pushing up the noise/signal ratio forever. and unis keep splurging $ to buy these papers bc of pressure from profs. it’s an endless cesspit of wasted scholarship and money.
What % of published academic research papers are worth anything? Roughly: Half of the fields are useless. 90% of the research from real fields is marginal at best. Half or more of the remainder doesn’t replicate. = ~2.5%? AI text generation can’t make this much worse, can it?

The most important thing I've learned about human psychology in the last five years: therapy for depression in men is usually mistargeted and ineffective because therapists think men are like women, who become depressed because they don't feel loved.
This is completely wrong.

small talk is *not* useless. it serves a purpose, which is to let you gauge the social posturing and vibes of someone new

the issue with a majority of San Francisco's culture of authentic relating, circling, cuddle parties, "deep convo" events, is that it’s intimacy without relationship. Closeness without friendship.
