Greed, selfishness and our hyper-individualism is a product of our society, not society as a product of our nature
These sentiments are something encouraged by those in power as it is advantageous for them to have the masses in want
There are underlying instincts for survival and dominance that have manifested today as greed and selfishness, but that is something an equitable society can address given the chance
To suggest otherwise is incredibly degrading humanity
@Syldon for "blind trust"...? absolutely no where.
If you want to form an educated respectable opinion then you deal with people that are educated in the field, then listen and learn. Otherwise, an opinion is just vacuous gas.
The internet and society is full enough with people expelling foul smelling gas as is without adding to it.
@Syldon If you put your trust in the internet then I really can't help ya, mate.
But hey, you do you, right? 👍🏼
@Syldon oh no, indeed not... the internet is the only place to go for accurate, factual and well-rounded and informed information.
@Syldon and I run a file server that's now 16 years old, running Linux as happily as the day we bought it... of course, after it's had its CPU, memory and hard drives upgraded multiple times. For 3 times the price of a Mac of the same vintage and no idea after the upgrades.
I never meant to imply you couldn't get quality PC gear, you very much can, but as soon as you do you're paying just as much or more than a Mac.
The PC vs Mac debate was old and tired in the 90s and now it's just dead.
@Syldon @1993_toyota_camry I bought a Macbook Pro in 2008 and used it happily (with little performance degradation) until 2018 when the displays logic board died and that vintage wasn't being supplied any longer.
I've honestly never heard of a PC laptop lasting 10 years like that, except maybe by grannies who put it in a cozy every night, just play solitaire on the thing and never heard of a Windows update.

wow... Georgetown must be a robust hub of discussion and debate...
You must really love peer-reviewers.
