Okay, I was generalising from experience; most students I've met lack intrinsic motivation. School systems typically encourage students to depend on extrinsic motivation.

Not being as happy and being unhappy are not the same. Regardless, you should read Robert Putnam's essay, E Pluribus Unum: Diversity and Community in the Twenty-First Century (2007). He makes it clear that social trust goes down becaus

I'm saying that younger generations don't seem to care about realism as much as they care about having fun creating and sharing things with their friends. A large proportion of younger gamers play Roblox and Minecraft. Will they g

It's like learning to read English after speaking fluently for a few years. You may only need the letter sounds and then you can guess the rest. Learning Chinese works that way. You learn some basic characters and then you can guess th

That is how it should be, yes. Do PhDs always meet that standard though? No.

I don't necessarily disagree, but researchers are not required to be good communicators. An academic can lead their field and be a terrible lecturer. A specialist can let a generalist help explain concepts for them. They should still r

Society depends on long-term 'happiness'. Short-term 'happiness' often makes society worse.

Me too. I guess a majority of people don't have the patience to work around counterintuitive things nor do they want to take measures to avoid bugs. On the other hand, Blender and Krita seem to give UX a higher priority, so they'r
