my biggest concern with people in tech who spend all day shouting on the internet is that many of them spend very little time talking to the people actually critical to society: doctors, firefighters, police officers, construction workers, mechanics, farmers, chefs, baristas, mailmen, janitors, retail workers, etc.

Almost all of those are poor person jobs. Why would a poor person have anything useful to say. Be so for real

this implies that you judge a person's usefulness or interestingness on their income?

This is the metric we have settled on as the way we judge value to society in our amoral, degenerate and secular society. Tech people can talk to all the mailmen they want and it won’t matter because that is the primary operating principle

I'd say it's probably true that society holds certain peoples views higher than others

Money has becomes THE proxy for merit, intelligence, influence and overall human value Why do we judge the welfare queen so harshly but not blink when Bezos manipulates tax law to pay so little he’s actually eligible for a Child Tax Credit? Why are the All In Bros or Bill Ackman treated as savants on every topic regardless of actual expertise? There is some human element here at play; to some degree this cannot be avoided. However IMO it is extra bad due to Income inequality which takes the “money as primary value judgement” calculus and dumps gas on the fire When the income gap widens, so does the gap in perceived worth If one person has 400x more than another, it becomes easier to assume their ideas, time, and life choices are 400x more important
