    How does if feel ignoring the billions of future people you’re actively trying to fuck over by preventing progress that makes their life better, because you think helping people today by making their lives better is a bad thing?

    Continuous learning is part of your responsibility as a human.

They’re just the people you’re ignoring to make the world a worse place.
