I just think it's funny how being kind to front line workers, because they aren't the people being assholes, is one of the most common memes on social media. Now though, because people are caught up in the hype, they've completely forgotten their own ideals and lash out at those they have previously declared to be their friends.
This is the kind of behaviour that leads to religion, because having an actual hard coded set of rules gives the victim the ability to point to something physical to say "hey, we're supposed to be your friends jackasses" when these sorts of things happen.
I'm not certain if there's actually a name for it, but I'm rather partial to this style I see all over the place in which a human artist uses physical media to create something that evokes emotions in the audience.
Those three pillars are my best assessment of how I managed to find myself as the singular best in the world at what I was doing (nothing career worthy, though it did point me in that direction). I was lucky that my parents got me started on it at a very young age, my other hobbies were strongly synergistic meaning I was spending much of my time developing related skills, when I first got into it I just randomly happened to meet up with the group that I reached the top with, so being surrounded by such excellent company had a massive impact. I met so many people who had very strong talent and dedicated themselves, but just never got the breaks I did. But like you said, it was largely because I already had the talent from early childhood learning and had remained dedicated my whole life that I was capable of fitting in when I did meet the right people.
I strongly recommend everyone read Chris Hadfield's "An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth," as he argues very strongly, with some great anecdotes from his life, for the importance of preparing to receive good luck.
It's a pretty great example to highlight just how insecure the digital environment is. Only takes one tiny mistake to open yourself up to significant harm.
That's what raising a family is about. No matter what you do the world will eventually burn you out, so it's good to have people to take over whatever it is you've built.
I've always said personally that to be the very best at something you need 1. Talent, 2. Dedication and 3. Luck. You can still be very close to the best with only two of those things, but if luck is all you have you're just going to be something like a lottery winner who blows it all in a month. Alternately, if you cultivate a habit of working hard towards your goals, then even in bad situations you'll be prepared to make the best of it that you possibly can, to get back to a good place faster.
I've only seen the first run, but Vincent D'Onofrio was such a brilliant Fisk he really stole the show (which wasn't an easy task, as the rest of the cast was on-point also).
Ask yourself what you think your country would look like if the Internet was hyper fixated on every single bad example anyone could find within your borders.
Christianity isn't like Islam where you're disowned (and often murdered) for the crime of leaving. People who were born into a Christian family but don't respect the religion can simply choose not to follow it anymore (with the notable exception of a few cults, but they hardly make up the whole). And once again, even many non-believers still have respect for the message of love and peace which Jesus championed.
I'm convinced that cats were considered divine in Egypt primarily because priests had no other way to explain why these animals just straight up ignored divine mandates.
They're disappearing because they've been invaded by corporate interests, political manoeuvring and activism. Real people just want to talk with real people about shit without thousands of busy bodies combing over their messages for opportunities to exploit them somehow.
I think your argument relates closely to something I've noticed happening over and over with more than just game developers. Far too often I see people expressing frustration that the Internet doesn't give them more accurate information about the real world. Way too many people, apparently including many of the richest and most powerful people alive, have come to see the Internet as a magical machine that will do anything they want it to do... if only people would use it differently! Like, they legitimately seem to expect the entire population to post their entire lives online, unfiltered, so they can be used as automatons by people they've never even met.
