Liberals like this guy and like you (I guess) are a big part of the reason we have fascism now.
'We should do a better job of trying to accept people who are weird or have social issues.'
But then later says that if 'polite society' rejects you, you should 'try to be better'
more of the same

I don't think of people as awful, but it's not hard to find reports of Silicon Valley execs telling a group of eager college students that they must work every waking minute if they want to build a successful company.

That's the subtext. Also: the messengers here bragging about how much they work are sometimes / often full of shit

Stop the madness. Slow the fuck down. Cooperation >> competition. Goes for any endeavor: you don't have to be "better" to reap the benefits, you just have to actually love people and want to help them in collective solidarity, instead of wanting to beat them at some fucking game.

What they are crushing along with their competitors is their own well-being, and that of their colleagues, and that of the planet as a whole.

The reason is that those three people are supposed to be viciously greedy, wanting all the benefits of whatever they are building for themselves. Unwilling to share with a broader collective. Absolutely focused on crushing the competition, including the people they work with.

Why is it that you have to work every waking moment -- 120 hours a week or whatever, like some people brag about -- when three people working 40 hours a week with unity of purpose can produce the same -- and probably better, given their improved physical and mental health -- output?

The only reason the idea that constant monomaniacal work is required for greatness has any credibility at all is that we live in a world of absolutely competitive, toxic individualism.

This is fascism and ecocide, barely disguised. The idea that great things are only possible if you create unhealthy living conditions for yourself and the planet desperately needs pushback.
