@sjmulder there's a specific glitch in the human brain that one would think should be easily patched if we'd been developed by a competent team, but what i've seen of the team leaves me in utter despair of anything ever improving: the *strong, unconscious, auto-confabulatingly-rationalized* presumption that, if some higher power or authority has produced or enacted something that looks like shit, there must be some good reason for it

all we'd need to fix this is to make that presumption always consciously recognized and easily rebuttable

fixing this would solve an incredible amount of our problems

there is as much good reason for it to be the way it is as there is a chance to fix it for a critical mass of humanity (0.00%)
