What is a normal work-life balance? I worked 60-80hrs/week for twenty years while I was young and retired by forty. I met a guy once who was an oil worker...two actually...who did the same thing.
You did not address any of the points laid out. Whether you agree with them or not, those were fairly reasoned arguments. You resorted to toddler name calling. The old internet with higher barriers of entry was more erudite.
I have a BS in math and I still don't know it. It is in applied math and while I'm good at solving and understanding engineering math problems, I never got the hang of proofs, I think mostly because I had not interest in it. If the engine started and ran to specifications, that is all the proof that I required.
I had an Atari800. Wanted an apple, but it was 4x as much. And my parents were strongly opposed to me having a computer, I had to pay for it myself. Do you know how hard it is for a 10 year old kid to come up with $800 ($2000 in 2016 inflated money)? But I did. And it still took a lot of convincing them to both let me buy it and then to let me use it.
Supercomputers are given away today in cereal boxes and kids complain about how hard they have it....
I recall back in the early days of the web - internet even - when it was populated mostly by people with CS and physics degrees and you could have intelligent, well reasoned discussions with knowledgeable people.
Then someone said, we're leaving the rest of the world behind. That was the beginning of the end. Now instead of discussing something with perhaps the individual scientist who proposed something, you could be arguing with a 7th grader or drunk homeless person who never graduated from grade school.
IIRC from a homework problem 20 years ago, if you had 2 pennies with a 1% charge differential between them, there would be enough force to life the WTC. (I said it was a long time ago).
What state? I have still never seen an EV out in the wild and spent a couple days in Seattle recently. I'd expected to see them everywhere from reading the internet, but no such luck. I was even surprised to see as many SUVs as I did...and a lot of Mercedeses.
that somehow affects me personally or that I can have some influence over. If most people had this requirement, there would be no "news". As it is, it exists only for entertainment purposes

Dial-up was all that I knew for 16 years. It was a lot more fun back then too
I live near a guy who brought in electricity from 4 miles away.
What do you consider "socialist countries"?
There are no socialist or any other countries doing better.
But there really isn't any real need for these gadgets.
Someday you'll need it to turn on you IOT toaster.
I bought my last backpack (gregory denali pro) at amazon. It was $115 less expensive than REI.

Interestingly, I drove around Seattle last week and saw half a dozen 'mom and pop' record stores and zero Tower Records.

People calling the US a democracy is a relatively recent (less than a hundred years or so) thing. People used to refer to the US as a republic.

People have short memories.
Critical thinking is also more how might I be wrong instead of why I am right.
And to continue the quote from wikipedia...the Holocene—of the ice age that began 2.6 million years ago at the start of the Pleistocene epoch, because the Greenland, Arctic, and Antarctic ice sheets still exist.
Sorry, that is the exact thing I was trying to say (from memory reading it a long time ago. IANAC).

Because there is still ice at the poles, we are still in an ice age.

That has never happened in my experience. It didn't even happen in my class of average students.
