Don't forget racists. Plenty of those are drawn to the Mensa labels, too.

This is worth the entire post and more. I'm chuckling while my kid gives me weird looks from the other room.

You sound like one of them rabid haters of chiropterotemporal gelato antivendors.

This goes a bit deep. Seems like it's going to be about customers being too stupid to figure things out, but it ends up for me a story about engineers not accurately anticipating customers' needs.

He's been doing that for years, with a big acceleration when he bought Twitter.

Elon is kind of stupid, definitely not as smart as he has presented himself. Reading his tweets, however, I have very serious concerns about the critical thinking levels of his fans.

If it helps, you're not alone. I've spent decades of my life pursuing a career, and in the past five or so years I've come to realize I will never accomplish the things I used to dream about, like making an impact in my little field, etc. It's a really, really unpleasant realization. The only silver lining I can find for myself (and it is helpful) is that I can let go of the "must excel" and "must go above and beyond" mentalities. It frees up time and mental resources.
