That was me up until my mid 20's

What about 3 hours early in the night, say 11pm to 2am?

In a pinch I could, by pretending to be in a zoom meeting.

True, but I've found it is just as like to change things for the worse as the better. Waking up from a deep deep sleep after only an hour can leave me as a zombie for the whole day.

I ended up sleeping for maybe 20 minutes this time and it has worked out so far.

 

If you are awake at 4 am, and have to be at work at 7, should you even try to get back to sleep or should you try to do something with your time?

Anything by Kiasmos. Also Chopin.

Maybe. The people who have always said 30 years were scientists and engineers. Those now saying 5 to 10 years are VC backed startups.

Progress is definitely being made but I'll believe the optimists when I see the results.

Of course, but the percentage of capable zoomers who are actually tech savvy is much smaller than millenials, for the reasons already stated.

Just the other day I witnessed a zoomer grad student who didn't know how to use a file explorer on his new windows laptop because he had grown up with an iPad and iPhone.

This has been a popsci fantasy for a quarter of a century or more. Google tried it and gave up.

I remember just giving up on life in second grade, refusing to participate or do anything because I was sad. Got tested a bunch after that and given pills that mad me a zombie.

There on out I was treated as a weird kid and that brought a different kind of sadness. Puberty added anger and suicidal ideation. The knowledge that I was fucked up, the world was fucked up, and my life wasn't going to work out.

Years later here I am, living with the knowledge I was right and watching myself fail at life, finding no joy or peace in anything. Everything is an open sore. Wondering when I'll get to a point where I rage quit.

I think most of the people I know are anxious or depressed, or both. Hut I don't know of anyone close to me who is at my level.

Maybe because manh people think it's useless and stupid and wish it would go away. Trusting a random bot to tell you the political leaning of an information source so you know whether to trust the information is peak stupidity, IMO.
