We need to take time to think things through, use critical thinking, decide for yourself, see behind the motivations and incentives. Never drink the kool-aid, but you can taste it and decide for yourself. Consider all stakeholders (not only investors and owners) and the impact on society. Us in tech are the ones that are implementing the vision, we are responsible too. Would not go to extremes and say everybody is a shill, since there has been serious innovation but we should be transparent of what is the cost of all that innovation. Just be honest with oneself (e.g. I'm working with this new fancy decentralized database instead of just buzzwording your way to success by blockchaining everything, etc). We need to drop the ego and work on what we love.
