    The Myth of Sisyphus By Albert Camus. A great philosophy book, not that hard to read, about the absurdity of life. Camus talks about suicide in this context, and why life still has…

    It requires effort but less than trying to understand how you could help them, so the point still stands. And even though they might genuinely help others, it’s important to educat…

    I don’t think it’s more insane than copying and pasting code from anywhere on the internet. You have to understand what you use and you must not trust it blindly, whatever the sour…
