Eh. I'm more of the opinion that technology amplifies the existing characteristics of social, political and economic structures (http://geekheresy.org/tag/law-of-amplification/ http://geekheresy.org/tag/law-of-amplification/) with the possibility of disrupting and democratizing. But I know I'm on an island in that regard. I understand your point.
- bcheung 11y agoIt's not an either or. Debt is a bad amplifier if not used correctly. Racking up huge student loans to get a degree that is not in demand will lead to poverty. The same with excessive credit card debt. Leverage works both ways. Certain people will always have destructive qualities. The percentage of people digging their own graves hasn't changed much. It's just that instead of a shovel, they now have a bulldozer.
