The attitude you describe is, I believe, the result of capitalist and religious propaganda that reinforces individualism rather than collectivist and non-religious yet spiritual philosophies. Those like Hinduism, Confucianism, Zen and Toaism.
Not to sell any one in particular but the common thread in the East is a different perspective than a boss in the sky eternally judging each individual.
Even if you aren’t religious, advertising will tell you you’re a special, unique and seperate individual. Desiring to stand out as famous, beautiful, smart, funny, strong etc is just a trap but one desired by many. Unfortunately, to be above others, then others must be below you. To be rich, there must be poor.
An understanding of this force of balance shows that to minimise the extremes of poverty you must minimise the extremes of wealth.
The East sees our true self is the larger whole of which we as Humanity are a small part of. While your name may seperate you conceptually, none of us are separate from the air we breath or the stars we see. Nothing is seperate even though the mind feels and believes it is so. Are you really in control? Do you beat your heart? When you make a decision, do you first decide to decide?
I only say all this because, when one genuinely switches thinking this way, then naturally you want to be generous and caring towards all others because you see everything as yourself includeing all that is non human.
These philosophies are not the complete answer to our problems because many of these philosophies were born in China and, even though it’s embedded in their culture, they are still struggling like everyone else. But a more modern widespread common understanding of the true nature of the situation may be beneficial.

‘Scraping’ is the process of anonymously and programmatically collecting data from a webpage(s), often without the website’s permission and only limited to the content made publicly available. This is I contrast to using an API provided by the database owner which is limited by tokens, access volume, available end points etc.

- Comment on Outdoor Workers Are Climate Victims 1 year ago:
Heat is one of the reasons I decided not to stay in the conservation industry. It could be 45°C out and my boss would still have me suit up and march out to spray weeds. I would come home drenched head to toe in sweat and it’s only going to get worse. Outdoor labour jobs need regulations to protect them from unsafe working conditions caused by the environment.
