If you accept the premise that some human decisions can have long lasting consequences, you inevitably arrive at a conclusion that the way the world is today is at least partially the result of some of previous decisions made by individual humans, and not some kind of divine edict. This unacceptable to many people.

I kinda miss looking forward to things happening. Like there would be some event I'm planning to attend, or a release of a book, or game, or movie, or even some new gadget. Or even a package with parts or PCBs I have ordered. But gradually I came to dread those things. The events became chores, with a guaranteed two weeks of being sick afterwards. Books take too long to come out, and I forget about them. Movies and games are tedious and boring. Gadgets are just all the same with less privacy.

I don't know about others, but for me personally, the best way to describe the precise behavior of a computer program is and always was a suitably advanced programming language. I never really understood the need for UML diagrams, cucumber scripts, XML configuration for dependency injection frameworks, or heaps of YAML files all referencing each other. And I don't really understand why MarkDown is suddenly supposed to be any better than any one of these. Just write the code.
