I feel we've identified a problem quite well, but I'm at more of a loss for a solution-oriented perspective? And also, VI x86 and Gentoo for life!

I have no idea! It seems to be the human material. Have you ever heard of a solution? I can be aware of it and resist it, but what I hate is that instinctive, negative impulse, and I don't think wishing it away is going to help.

Recognize tools for what they are? Just tools that accomplish task(s) Also don't forget how boring life is without some competition to keep the spirit lively
