do not talk to philosophers. Do not engage in philosophy. Eschew everything that starts with "meta". Do NOT give them a platform. I am so done with this.

actually, first a short rant
i hate the libc
even outside the fact it's 99% antiquated nonsense you should never use,
a lot of it (integer types, stdarg, math functions, string/memory operations) should be handled by the compiler instead of the libc - in fact, most of the time libcs do these by just stubbing compiler intrinsics, which bruh
then stuff like memory allocation, file management, and really most IO-adjacent operations are really application/system-specific and should be put in a separate library instead of the libc proper
now you might say, wait then what would remain in the libc

all great.

Melancholy about successful technology (of which Ford has a nice nuanced version I'm not taking issue with) is very striking to me:

we don't really want our problems solved, or we only want em solved in filmic ways - the big speech, the big march, the bad guys usurped, 0 profit
