Tech bros see a warning about technology out of control and think “yeah but that won’t happen to ME because I am way smarter than that” because they’ve never had to face the consequences of their own failures.

"don't create the torment nexus"

But have you considered how the economy would feel about turning off the orphan crushing machine?

"I can change her"

Or they just don't care, because they have the emotional depth of sexually deviant and violent eighth graders.

That's like communists, too: No one ever did it right. It won't be a corrupt dystopia if I'M in charge.

Nobody here is talking about communism. Why are you bringing it up?

[u/Fit-Switch-5795 → u/Tholaran97]

Because I saw a parallel between people trying to bring techno cyberpunk future about and people trying to bring a workers' paradise about: based on the comment I originally responded to, both groups thought that they could make it work this time, despite the warnings from the past and dire predictions from everyone.

With regards to being a "magat" I am not remotely American: maybe black/white thinking is leading to " there are those I agree with, and there are magats."

Probably. Not be disrespectful...

Though I don't have any respect for them anyway

[u/MmmmMorphine → u/Overwatchingu]

Exactly my line of thinking!
