What do you do? Not to be weird, I know you write but what is your field? What did you study to gain such a measured perspective? Again sorry if this is weird but you seem so... idk almost everything you say resonates with me and I feel like much of that is just the surface.

My academic background is in computer science, but I enjoy studying anything that interests me - psychology, philosophy, etc.
