I'm not sure what exclusivity has to do with primacy. In any case that is an easy example. But what about the example of the use of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima? That is much more debatable and isn't as clear cut - so we need more advanced discussions to make a better decision in that case. > That's true, but we also don't have a society that will pay more for actual helpful technology than it will for adtech. Why blame the software engineers for not making themselves martyrs? Why not blame the CEOs for not making themselves martyrs? Why not blame the people for wanting the wrong things? I'm not arguing that software engineers should be martyrs. I'm arguing that software engineers bear culpability as much as anyone else, and to suggest that they are more necessary than philosophy as incorrect. You touch an important problem. We could have a discussion about the ethics - who is responsible, who is not. What do you know - philosophy.
