I use IDEA and most typed languages I write (eg Java, Go, Python with annotations) have better support for things like automated refactoring, bug detection via static analysis, etc

This is a bit hyperbolic. We have strong encryption like PGP for media like email (although I suppose getting people to use it is the issue), and there will be plenty of incentive to develop other tech to counter the problems you mentioned.

relationship between borderline personality disorder and extreme, though changeable, expressions of
identity. A large study found that the P factor, which we attempted to approximate here, seemed to perfectly correlate with a latent borderline personality disorder factor (Gluschkoff et al., 2021.). Those who score high in neuroticism are plagued by worry and doubt, including about themselves and even about who they are. Bing high in neuroticism strongly correlates with suffering from depression and anxiety (see Nettle, 2007). The world appears to them as a frightening place, beyond their control, meaning that even their sense of "self" can be unclear. In periods of extreme concern, they deal with this by creating - and expressing - clear and strong identity (Fox, 2020). This ameliorates their negative feelings, at least for a period of time, meaning, as this has been found with religion, that their identity may even become less extreme and conspicuous as they enter a period of relatively mental stability (see Hills et al., 2004). Thus, unnatural coloured hair can be regarded as an expression of, and way of negotiating, high levels of neuroticism.
Is there anyone alive practicing “Roman Stoicism”? People today take valuable and useful ideas from the philosophy of Stoicism such as those that underpin CBT. Why disregard these because some people did or wrote things you disagree with hundreds of years ago? The author doesn’t say anything meaningful here.
The advantage of high peak brightness (eg > 1000 nits) is brighter small regions such as specular highlights. 500 nits full field is eye-searing.
