It does seem they’ll try to use his case as a deterrent to anyone thinking about following in his footsteps. I think they will be harsh and he’ll be made into a martyr. The religious imagery of Saint Luigi may be apt and more than just a meme.
VubDapple@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How Americans responded in 1955 when the invention of the polio vaccine was announcedEnglish2·6 months agoThere are many influences. One is pure resentment of elites as know-it-alls which propagandists amplify. A bit of Dunning–Kruger effect at the same time as people without specialized training can’t even comprehend what they don’t know. Another is how difficult it is to think probabilistically so that people can’t easily appreciate risk. And as more and more people proclaim conspiracy theories as truth there is peer pressure to confirm.
VubDapple@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Should you or should you not make friends in your workplace?5·7 months agoIt’s fine to develop relationships at work and move them into “on good terms” territory if that is viable. It’s also fine if it is possible to move those viable work-friendships outside of the work environment to see if they can stand on their own. What is not smart however is to think that work-friendships are real friendships just because “we get along” at work. Most work friendships will drop you like a hot rock if you get fired. It’s important to be ready for that to happen even as you see what friendships might be viable.
Enjoy your home OP. May you live out many happy years under its shelter.

Not at the same time, but in alternation, sure. It’s all reactions to underlying shame and inadequacy beliefs/feelings which are there all the time I expect.
This tracks with my assessment of the two likely personalities of software engineers, either narcissistic or anxious with imposter syndrome.

Jung didn’t have much to say about self actualization I dont think. it was more Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers. The term refers to what is possible after you’ve managed to take care of all your other needs, and what is left is to become the best most genuine expression of your possibilities you can be. Most people will never get their needs met and so actualization in its purest form will be elusive and fleeting.
