I wrote on Quora:

When he was playing sports in school, I was learning how to build computers.

I did both. For example, I read a book on the internal design of microprocessors in 1978 at age 13 while I was bed ridden for several days with a severe high ankle sprain from Junior Varsity football. Yet I admit that those who were geekier than me, spending all their time doing academics had higher achievements than I did as a ramification of my attempt to be both a jock and a geek. But I caught up after high school (and some university), by refusing to do much of anything but hacking (and not just hacking computers) and sports. I decided to cut out all the extraneous requirements that society thinks is important, so I could maintain both activities I valued the most. I agree with you that life presents tradeoffs and we must choose.

I would happily give up my privileged position in the world so that I could live in one where my expertise isn’t even special. I get positively ecstatic when I think about it, it would be that awesome

Want to know how awesome egalitarianism is? Go live in Venezuela. Go back in a time machine and experience the Holodomor. Why is that Westerners are fantasizing about repeating what lead to 100 million deaths in 20th century?

I do not understand your motivation at all. Why would you even want to destroy the trend to the maximum division-of-labor. Do realize where that rabbit hole theoretically leads? What’s up with this desire for egalitarianism? Do you really want to live in a STATIC universe? That’s what would be required, if you actually go down the Physics rabbit hole and understand the theoretical ramifications of your fantasy.
The world is wonderfully diverse, dynamic, uncertain and alive, precisely because we can’t all do everything. Precisely because we’re not all omniscient and thus time and thermodynamics are not reversible. Completeness requires a static universe.

Also why do you assume you’re privileged? Does every female you want choose you? For example, you’re not anymore privileged than the guy in the barrio who doesn’t even know how to code, but has much hotter gf(s) than you will ever get because women don’t really value your geek qualities nor accomplishments. They want the baddest boys. Much more sex appeal. How are you more privileged than those who are able to do the minimum effort in life and still funded by socialism to live reasonably high quality Western style lives? They’re presumably happy with the setup, which is why they vote for more socialism. You worked hard for what you have. I would have expected you to want a meritocracy, not a fantasy where everyone is privileged and thus in reality everyone starves to death because nature routes around that failed fantasy by destroying all those who ascribed to it.

But I have no idea how to do that. And nobody else does either.

I know how to do it. Build a static universe. Build your own little game simulation where everything can be observed holistically. Then you can prescript your egalitarianism. Be God. And remember you’re providing all the resources for your static universe, so make sure you can produce enough to pay for the edicts that your fantasy requires.
