I suppose what I am railing against is the fait accompli of it all. Meaning the idea that the way we do things now is the best possible way.

It isn’t and the best way to get my dander up is to hand-wave away concerns, as if the problem is solved and we can’t question it any more. This is why people hate the tech-bro archetype.

And even more maddening is the attitude that these ‘features’ are for users benefit.

The TV series Silicon Valley and their Pied Piper product seems so much less funny now that Peter Thiel has unmasked himself as a wannabe anti-christ. (PTs response to this accusation? ‘no u’)
