And I AM the devil :-)

For some reason I cannot reply to what is written in one group of
people in that same group of people, but I can reply in another group.

The real replies for this group will only be told in a group of
siberian nomads in a tent in Yakur at the Kolyma river.

But here is an answer to another group, somewhere in the world,
published only here:

There is a problem. Real world computers are polled, not event driven.
(except for hardware-interrupted microcontroller circuits, but it
doesn't work like that in our normal computers)

All types of events are created by the cpu which is both creating all
objects in software and the cpu is polling all objects. It can be
programmed to look like event-driven.

So if we can accept that reality and want to minimize cpu power we may
end up with polling as the best system, because that's what it is.

C> Dear God, will this ever end...

He is about the last person to ask such a thing from. He is the guy
who created this.

If we want "this" to end we will have to do it ourselves.
And that isn't very likely as long as most people are intent on being
selfish and refuse to cooperate.

They are more interested in teaching others to behave on a very high
stress level. So we all can be very strong willed and have social
pondus.

"Respect, man", as the gangster rappers say it.
"Omerta", as they say in Sicily.

These attitudes are part of the creation.

When people are taught to be very angry inside, and base their lives
on that kind of confidence, it means that violence is never far away.
Their happiness is based on a balance between good and evil.
Their "good" is a kind of drunkenness.
Real good cannot be balanced by evil.

The only kind of security available in such a world is based on hidden
violence.

You can feel safe children, daddy will not beat you up today.
Daddy is in a good mood today.

But don't disturb him, because he is a violent and dangerous man.

That is the reason why he likes to play chess with his male friends,
or talk about complicated programming, which sounds like a secret
language to normal people.
