I hate these bastards in Silicon Valley so much for what they've done to the idea of tech. The idea that we as a collective people could work together to improve our lives through ingenuity, collaboration, and determination. Instead, it's become a ponzi scheme based on the idea of line goes up.

I've literally zero interest in going "Back to the trees", though I do love nature too, I'm not sure what the future holds.
Posthumanism is for douche nozzles like Bezos and Musk.
The Transhuman journey there looks a bit gray now.
So much is "How can I exploit someone's work while making sure they're not paid?"
I'm glad tech is so widespread we don't have to rely on SV, but it's dire.
That idea is still wonderful, it's the people who are questionable.

To, "Can we use some tech to sell this shit somehow? And how do we maximize market capture and profit acceleration cycles? "
And we've all seen the results of that shift.
It was so positive, I remember now.
F*CK I say that like an old, old man catching a moment of youthful hope from a long distant past, I'm 51 and tech& google hadn't turned pure evil yet, in the early 2000's.
That guy knew how to not give a fuck! ;)
If you were them would you be happy having not destroyed those things?🤔 *obligatory clasping fingers*
Hard pass on that one, control freaks.

I’m beginning to believe power doesn’t actually corrupt. It reveals the corrupt.
"The constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones."
😂
"Welcome to Dystopia Disneyland, did you get your MAGA hat?"
And Musks understanding of rocketry is probably not to the level of doing the math.
Tech, like all things, can be used for good or evil. Watching the technofascists smear shit all over the good out there and repurposing it for profit is disturbing.
