When I was 17, there was a 13-year-old girl who had a crush on me. She was not shy about it and probably would have done anything for me.
Even then, as a confused teenaged boy in the early 90s, I thought the age gap was too weird.
It is easy not to be a predator. Or even just vaguely skeevy.

I have an engineering degree, and the math classes were some of my biggest hurdles... But for years I've had a steady customer-facing job where I've been requested for meetings & trainings because I can deal with subjects at the audience's level, including nontechnical people, without talking down.
I've spent 20 years helping new engineers start careers, tip from a top recruiter: there's never any shortage of people who can write code that works (or do the art needed, etc), her challenge is finding people who can do that AND anyone wants to work with, friendly, communicate, take feedback

It's the "spiral" motif. Anglosphere culture has had "spiral" overcoded as "mystic" for all history. Tornadoes, hurricanes, whirlpools, sunwheels, tops, sacred geometry, Scooby Doo intro segments. They hunger for the hour to come around at last

I have long had a pet theory that adolescent boys, worried that they have nothing that makes them stand out, choose one obsession. Some memorize baseball stats, some get into cars, some are rock nerds. (1/7)
... likening its obsession with canon, continuity, and the "exhaustive" cataloguing of things and places that don't exist with a kind of tyranny.

Why is everything crap. Well, here we learn why Adam Smith was an early Marxist, in that though he had great faith in markets
He had zero faith in merchants
And the reason why, is why no one answers your helpline
