These two points -- tech *is* the solution vs tech as part of solutions, and full amnesia about how that went before -- are really important, and I think part of my and my friends beef with all the chat in the U.K. about engineering biology atm.

yes, and actually lots of big journals look like (and sometimes say) they want qualitative work, but the qualitative reviewers want widely relevant, transferable, pre-registered experimental studies, ie they're all still positivists.

My point is that we (that means government, media, and citizens) need to think very differently about both innovation and policy, in order to ensure that "use" actually produces social benefit. Our innovation and regulatory policy apparatus does not actually care much about it, and that's a problem.

I use macwhisper and it's great. you have to clean it up a bit but everything happens on your computer and it's just a £20 one time purchase, so feels a bit less like rent seeking.

I appreciate this (we did it) but also think the appropriately introspective STS coping strategy would be to submit an open track on this very topic.
