1. The best approximation for writing maintainable and fast code is to be a craftsman trying to write beautiful code. To find joy in the art of coding, not race towards making something that works.
2. Machine Learning and AI is significantly overhyped and overfunded, even more so than crypto.
3. The current iteration of the internet, speficially social services, was a great technological advancement for humanity, but it was a step backwards towards making our lives happy and fulfilling. We did not evolve to deal with this technology and we're becoming more and more miserable. This thing may be our downfall.
4. Related to 3. I think the internet and its power of communication had a negative effect on science. Science is now mostly social and status game. This has always been true to some extent, but the ability for instant global communication and comparison has made it worse. It's regression to the mean when everyone wants to work on the current global hot topic, which has only been possible in recent decades.
5. The whole gender equality movement and cancel culture from the US is a bunch of BS and just people trying to make careers out of it, or people frustrated with themselves and their own lives. And a great way to exact revenge for emotionally unstable female persons.
6. Cars suck and should be abandoned worldwide outside of car racing for fun.
7. In a few hundred years we will look at today's science the way we're looking at religions today
8. Crypto is good, even it's just a big global casino. I believe we need a big global casino and gambling should be legal and fun. But people should be educated about gambling and probability theory.
9. Probability Theory and Bayesian statistics should be the most important subject in middle/high school
10. Governments and countries make no sense. Nobody would come up with this stuff if we were to design to system from scratch today with the internet in mind.
I could go on, but let's stop here.
