Excellent post. I don't have much experience with C but it was fascinating to read about the design decisions going into it and how even back then, backwards compatibility was very important for newly developed tools

on egotism · c/psychedelics · 2 pts · 2y

There are several schools of thought on the ego, one of the more prominent ones being the conquering or killing of the ego. I personally found a lot more clarity in understanding and accepting the ego, seeing it as a part of my mental and emotional landscape that focuses on meeting my basic needs. I definitely agree however that it can be aggressive and loud, drowning out higher order of thought and interfering with oneness mentality.

It sounds like your ego is trying to communicate something, like an unhappiness or discontent with your present situation. If you're in a good spot to do so, I advise listening to what it has to say even if it is very uncomfortable and sobering and unsettling. Make a list too if it helps. I've done this and as wildly uncomfortable and downright depressing it can get, it can also offer unparalleled clarity into what needs are not being met. And we humans are no strangers to neglect.

Above all else, trust your gut. And throw away any and all parts of this advice/feedback as needed. It's the advice I wish I had when I was in a similar situation

Absolutely. That section is a response to the monotheistic interpretation of god and the idea of hell. The Greco-Roman gods, for example, would be an entirely different story where power is the core value.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if the answer is not important but how we respond to the answer (or lack of an answer) is what matters most. Different believers of the same god(s) and religion can either feed and clothe the less fortunate or genocide nations.

If there is one or more god(s) out there and their fundamental core value is love, I would think they would not care if we get the answer right or even care about acknowledgement with prayer and rituals, but they would be more interested in how we treat each other and the world that we live in by keeping love as a core value in our lives.

Id wager few have used a Mac compared to Windows. Windows was always more ubiquitous, and its usually the default in work and school settings so it has a lot more chances to disappoint
