I dig that you tie this domain-specific problem with that much larger social issue.



Thanks. I've been struggling a lot with life in general lately (depression, etc), and it's nice to have some glimpse that someone else shares the view, maybe.

I think we have a real issue at the moment with people funneling their efforts into ways of dealing with issues at the micro level, rather than the macro level. Local optima. Something like that.

It makes me happy to see the sort of political revolutions that the Internet can bring about, but sad to see that we're still thinking so small. e.g. "Get x into tech" rather than "Make it so that you don't need to be in tech to live a decent life". That sort of thing.
