You gonna do better? Then go into politics. Otherwise take your pick.

Russian spies. Nice try.

He said this: I have never done anything "useful". No discovery of mine has made, or is likely to make, directly or indirectly, for good or ill, the least difference to the amenity of the world.

That's in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Mathematician%27s_Apology, the summary of which matches what you said:

One of the main themes of the book is the beauty that mathematics possesses, which Hardy compares to painting and poetry.[5] For Hardy, the most beautiful mathematics was that which had no practical applications in the outside world (pure mathematics) and, in particular, his own special field of number theory. Hardy contends that if useful knowledge is defined as knowledge which is likely to contribute to the material comfort of mankind in the near future (if not right now), so that mere intellectual satisfaction is irrelevant, then the great bulk of higher mathematics is useless. He justifies the pursuit of pure mathematics with the argument that its very "uselessness" on the whole meant that it could not be misused to cause harm. On the other hand, Hardy denigrates much of the applied mathematics as either being "trivial", "ugly", or "dull", and contrasts it with "real mathematics", which is how he ranks the higher, pure mathematics.

This is just about efficiency. Postal (including UPS / FedEx) can plan the route ahead, stack parcels with as little space as possible, and deliver hundreds of packages in a day. UberEats doesn't know when will order show up, doesnt know when will order be ready, it can deliver maybe 2 - 3 orders in a row, the route planning is just in time.

Tell me how is this only explainable by socialized system.

Some maybe, but it isn't like people who have kids have that good of a track record. No reason to believe people without kids are especially probelmatic.

Care to elaborate? Sounds like an interesting story.

Dehumanizing your subject is easy. Republicans do that to people on the left too. Let's just hate each other till we destroy each other. That's gonna get a good society going.

I didn't know the direction either, and went with it for about 50 hours.

I mean, if they say "you have to pay 3 bucks a month to use 3rd party client" I would be annoyed but I would understand, and I would still be on reddit.

That's a low bar.
