it has been solved for approximately 2 billion people on this planet, but those answers are not friendly to profit-seeking institutions like google and the only remaining institutions that can stop it are captured by the likes of google

The Hippocritic Oath
I swear by LinkedIn, “disruption,” and the invisible hand of the market that I will fulfill this oath to the best of my metric-driven ability.
I will critique my teachers for their lack of personal branding.
I will inform every patient that their illness is, ultimately, a failure of hustle culture, poor risk management, and not having a diverse investment portfolio.
I will refuse deadly drugs but will absolutely shame you for buying avocado toast instead of a high-deductible health plan.
Whatever house I enter, I will come for the sick — and leave a QR code to my Substack explaining how bootstraps could have prevented all of this.
I will not repeat what I see or hear in private — but I will monetize the general vibe as a case study in “choice architecture.”
If I keep this oath, may I achieve synergistic growth. If not… well, the market will correct you, not me.

my ex-husband. we were forced to separate after 7 years because he didn’t have legal status in this country and i couldn’t sponsor him because gay marriage was still illegal.
he’s ten years younger than i, so we was (barely) young enough to start over again with a new husband and now has a family in california. i since then have learned that he was my only chance for my asocial autistic old fat ass to do the same thing meanwhile men still flirt w him because of his genetically inherited abs and movie star quality good looks.
it’s been 12 years and i still think of him of him every day; usually more than once.
i don’t see anyone making fun of it, but i do seem people characterizing intellectuals as either disconnected and stuck up; or depressed and childless; or godless and doomed to hell for it and all of it is done with the vaguely hidden intention of warning everyone else against intellectual pursuits or else they’ll end up like disconnected, depressed, and/or godless.
the quality of the code is dependent on the quality of the pay. lol
i guess a broken clock can be right. lol
thank goodness for it or else it would have hit everyone at once, giving little time for reaction from everyone else.
