@ChrisMayLA6 I think this is dangerous advice. Life and work does not consist of only fun moments, doing only things that we like. It consists of hard things, and doing things we do not like. By telling immature people that they should focus on what they like, the risk is that they go out in life with the expectation of only doing something fun, and then things turn out to be not so much fun.

I find it much better to be realistic and balanced and teach my students that life is not fun, and work is called work for a reason.

After all, there is only so muc economic space for gender scientists, artists, influencers and the like. If you're not at the top, then your life will be worse off, than the person who takes a moderate approach and educates himself in a sector that actually does pay somewhat well, and where there is a demand.

@ChrisMayLA6 This is maybe a reason to be concerned at how much the tech "entrepreneurs" are wooing politicians: They are simultaneously trying to bluff their way to success in the marketplace, and also to become a part of state funded infrastructure. It seems like there's an attempt at a sort of blitzkrieg going on, a bid to make this technology irreversibly central to society before people realise what's happening. It feels more like a political coup than capitalism.

@ChrisMayLA6 @2legged it tries to be fact based at least, whatever they decide to do with those facts.
