I think times have changed. I spent almost 27 years in a sort of "silo," and, when I came out into the modern tech world, I realized that the world had changed, very much, for the worse.

I guess the saddest thing, is that everyone just accepts this.

Fortunately, I had the means to retire, and I did.

I think it's about to happen again, but a lot faster, this time.

It's the normalization of deviance thing all over again. The only reason I notice the deviation is extreme is because I haven't seen all the little steps in between.
