If y'all spent as much time learning to program and building a product as you spend on the virus and related conspiracy theories, you'd actually start mattering enough in the world to do something about all the things you keep complaining about.

OMG I've been telling ALL my bitcoin friends to learn to program since forever and almost none of them will do it. Most people can learn to program and will find it's fun once they actually get going at it but they all think they can't do it!!

Let's be honest, programming is hard.

But the hardest thing about learning to program isn't programming... It's getting over your own damned excuses, especially if you've got someone to help you get started.

An excuse is a request for permission to fail.

Using services like repl.it you don't even have to install anything on your computer.

If you're uncomfortable with getting started, I'd suggest you begin with Python.

There are tons of free resources out there to help you get started.

At the very least, try it for a week or two and see if it's really as bad or hard or scary or uncomfortable as you thought it would be.

If you're interested, talk to me.

I am here to help.

but then how would we know what to do about it?

What, you think spending that much time on programming/building would necessarily exclude you being aware of these other things?

What does that imply about how much time you're spending on the virus and conspiracy theories?

There's an opportunity cost to how we spend our time. As you exampled.
Investigative research is a valuable skill.

It's hard to put a valuation what one isn't aware exists.

What I see people doing with regards to the virus and related conspiracy theories is not 'investigative research,' but baseless speculation in fields well outside of these individuals' areas of expertise.

I honestly dont get this. I see friends arguing on flakebook whether or not this is a bioweapon, NWO, satanic agenda... Who gives a flying fuck. The last couple of weeks have been my most productive in years, while they are wasting their time on horseshit

Exactly.

Are we so afraid of doing a little bit of honest, responsible work that we instead gravitate towards these fruitless pursuits?

That is not me, and I hope to help others steer clear of such traps, too.
