This has to be one of the most thoughtless comments I've read on the thread. You don't know about the lives of other commentors but are happy to make huge generalizations about them and in the process commit the same thinking error that you're accusing them of making. Do you not see the irony in that?

This comment makes it seem like the video does not contain rational arguments. It very much does. If you're skeptical about them, why not address them.

Carmack falls into the old fallacy of "This is my experience so it must be everyone elses experience too". Just because obsession is fulfilling for him and he manages to make it work, it doesn't mean it's fulfilling to others. And yes a lot of people don't care about their work, that is the reality of the world. Most people aren't priviledged enough to have the opportunity to work on their passions. The average person needs more free time to themselves, to recharge, to self actualize, it's not about being "lazy", different people have different values and society would be better off respecting that fact. It's easy to give your life to work if you have ownership of that work like Carmack does...

Sometimes it's conversation that brings out the deeper thoughts that may not be well formed or put into words. OP may have not been able to clearly articulate their ideas without being prompted into it by yourself

The periodic table is a human construct. So is the concept of an identifier.
