If only I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen this message.
> Be steady and well-ordered in your life so that you can be fierce and original in your work
Or as authors put it: "write drunk, edit sober".
> I think that it’s extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don’t think we are. I think we’re responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don’t become missionaries. Don’t feel as if you’re Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don’t feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What’s in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more.

Steve Jobs addressed this exact point during a 2011 keynote [0]:
> It is in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough—it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that make our heart sing.
Unemployed smokers will have less disposable income, and may not be able to afford to smoke more.

Doesn't look like it, from the CDC:
> CWD was first identified in captive deer in a Colorado research facility in the late 1960s, and in wild deer in 1981.
So relative to our modern diet, maybe your point holds, but the California Floristic Province has plenty of plants to sustain humans. IIRC, the indigenous population density was some of the highest in the world.
Entertaining, not really, useful, most certainly.
How about the thousands who don’t commit violent crimes as a result of taking these drugs [1]? Sorta like the clothesline paradox [2].

Passing mention in the story, but is this a common hypothesis? I’m aware of UCSD research suggesting THC suppresses apoptosis [0], but that’s very different than being mutagenic.
