Unfortunately, he did not mention the moral responsabilities of the Silicon Valley technopower in delivering and selling a technology so society-impact only for making themselves and their shareholders richier.

Heavy drinker from 20 to 40 now after some dry January years I only drink a beer or a couple of wine glass in the weekends (no exception) my overall energy and sleep increased by an order of magnitude. I will quit as a target next year. After quit smoking one of my best health decision so far

my 2 cents are two ignobel papers formthe same italian physic professor.

The firs one form 2010 tries to find using multi agents simulation the best approach to solve the Peter Principle in organizations (If you do not know what is the Peter principle is the reason why your boss is so incompetent but still earns more than you)

the second is from the same author a work (ignobel 2022) that demonstrate that in the long run it does not matter how prepared and skilled you are.Your income depends more from the fortune and chances that you had in your life than on how prepared you are.

my two cents, even if I am not 60 but nearly. Do not underestimate the role of chance and fortune in all the decision you made. Don't even think for a moment that all the efforts you put in your job/career, relations and to stay health will somehow led to a positive (for you) outcome. The mantra "if you dream of it you can have it" leave to the posters because it's totally wrong and it can bring you to mental problems if you embrace it. I know it sound depressing but I see lots of people at my age (55) that are nearly broken because for example they sacrifice everything for their careers and goals and now that they don't get what they want are a complete mess. On the same way I see woman that sacrifice they own being for the children and now that they children as grown and do not care so much about their parent are loosed in a life without meaning for them.
