I’m not the OP, nor am I very good at succinctly summarizing what’s in my head in a way that I’m confident would do the topic justice.
The specific term you probably want to look up is “Linear no threshold”.
I think the video Kyle Hill did several months ago though covers the topic very well though.

I have some small nitpicks on how exactly he argued a couple of his points, but his over all point seems reasonable.
Honestly, pretty much what I do now just probably a more glamorized or idealistic version of it. My favorite toys growing up were wooden building blocks and Duplo and from a very young age I (incorrectly) mapped what I enjoyed about those things to the profession of architecture and that’s what I always told people that’s what I wanted to do.
Luckily I was able to figure out that what I really enjoyed and wanted to do was engineering. As long as I’m designing things and solving problems I’m pretty happy. It doesn’t really matter what the context is.
