      My father once asked me "do you want to make money? or do you want to make software?" The point hit home hard. And I chose software (making a good buck at it as well).

      You'd at least have to start by controlling for survivorship bias, the composition fallacy, the strategic importance of avoiding humiliation and poverty signals, like say a car covered in ads.

      If you're not willing to drive a car with ads because "humiliation", then you're rank ordering prima donna hood over money. This thread started w you saying "you need rresources to make money". Now you're arguing that ads on a vehicle is a bridge too far. Curious.

      Humiliation as in being marked socially so that associating with you damages others' status. When I said "strategic," what I meant was strategic—the extent to which actually landing a good job can depend on not sending any weird or undesirable signals to eg a would-be employer.

      that is a good link. in particular, white seems feckless and obnoxious if and only if you assume she's lying—if you don't make that assumption, it sounds like she needs considerable help

      People who want to succeed do. People who care about work / life balance, "unreasonable" demands, "dignity", etc., don't. I'm ok with that.

      Can't say I agree with you about the empirical facts there, but I also can't reasonably expect to convince you. If you're comfortable with the kind of meat grinder world you describe, then I think we have very different core values. It is to shrug.

      It's like being comfortable with gravity or death. Better to accept the universe as it is than pretend it's something it's not.

          Hmm... I find gravity and death comforting, but I take your point. I think about this a lot. There are gaps between a. recognizing that something is so and that mere yelling won't make it otherwise, b. believing it an eternal truth, and c. actively endorsing it.

          I can accept Earth's gravitational field and—without denying it—still build a space station where I don't even have to go feel it. But if I worship the field, I'll never escape.
