You might enjoy Freya Holmér's videos - I mostly know her for her excellent mathsy video essays, but she has loads of videos about "maths for game Devs" that might be useful.

Yup. We're least safe when we most think we're safe. Architects of self fulfilling prophecies

I mean, racism has as much reason to exist now as it ever did. "I'll protect me and what's mine" has been the dividing line between species for thousands of years, and we have to choose whether we'll continue it. A "Kill or be killed" mindset might keep you safe, but you'll never know if the person you killed did indeed mean you harm, or if you could've instead lived without killing, and broke bread with a rival. The logic still applies

That's a hilarious reply, and I can't think of a witty response to match it

I always experience a weird sense of sonder^[1] when I see spam bots, because even if it's a huge, highly automated network of bots, there's at least one human involved if you could trace the bots back to their source. I wonder what kind of person they are, and how the hell they make a profit from the spam. They surely must have a non-zero return rate, but how well does it work? Are they making bank from the task, or barely scraping by? Are they surviving on the scam income, or is it just a bit extra on top of a regular job? Do they enjoy the work, or are they as much of a wage-slave as I am, just in a different way. Were they themselves a victim of some scam, perhaps? I'll never know, hence the sonder.

[1]: Sonder, noun, neologism.
"The feeling one has on realizing that every other individual one sees has a life as full and real as one’s own, in which they are the central character and others, including oneself, have secondary or insignificant roles" (dictionary.com)

I love REFind. I spent ages faffing around with a fedora/arch dual boot when I was trying to learn how it all worked; when I got sick of learning things the hard way, REFind had my back and gave me a straightforward solution
