Oh oh... this is the kind of stuff that gets people to start rolling out guillotines. Take away the peaceful option for resistance and only the violent one shall remain.
Man, I want an R-rated film about the bible. With all the gory, crude, sexual details. That orgy where people cum literal buckets. Adam and Eve having kids, that fuck each other and have kids for a few thousand years to populate the earth, what angels look like, some old dude killing his sons (does he actually go through with it? I can't remember), all that shit.
I am kind of confused, actually. So god, the almighty being, Adam and Eve and the devil together in the garden of Eden. Why put the devil in the garden of Eden if you don't want it to lead the two people astray? But since god is all-knowing, it knew the devil was going to do that, so god created the situation for the "original sin" to happen instead of creating a perfect world where there is no sin.

You're not being weird. Some people like face to face, some don't. Not everybody's the same and to claim that would be naive. Unfortunately, there are more people who enjoy face to face than not, and most of them work in management: management is interacting with people --> you have to like interacting with people to be at least a passable manager --> the chances are much higher you enjoy doing that face to face --> management makes decisions --> face to face is valued.
Same goes for salary: management is there to delegate work --> they are disconnected with the day to day of workers because they don't do their work --> management sees workers as less qualified than themselves --> logically never would pay those "less qualified" same or more than themselves. Management makes decisions so guess who gets paid more...
It's just how things shake out. If workers become management, they too forget how things are and slip into the same pattern observed above. It's just unfortunate how the human brain works.
