In fleeting moments of madness, maybe. But aside from that, of course not! We're so unbelievably lucky to be able to do things that we're good at, most of us enjoy (to some extent), and also be paid eye-watering amounts of money.

It's pretty easy to forget how low the median income really is when one's social group is exclusively tech or other professional occupations (lawyers, doctors, etc). Meeting somebody who's doing physical labour 40-60 hours a week only to make 25k USD or whatever puts things into perspective really quick.

Yep - same thing here. It's really, really odd because much of the spam that's arriving in my inbox is the sort of stuff that even a 'hello-world' level spam classifier would catch.

Meanwhile, legitimate and non-spammy-looking emails are getting put in spam or literally not even arriving at all.

I'm pleased to see that we're starting to study these substances. It seems absurd that we wouldn't have - after all, they're a part of our common heritage. Hopefully this leads to new insights.
