> I care for human centered design. I care about technology with responsibility without data exploitation. I care about privacy and transparency. That is idealism, definitely necessary in small quantities but what moves things forward is pragmatism. The former is more of a guide than a prescription. E.g. human centered design is costly - when you're pushing the envelope, you can't have everything in utmost polish (and a mere glance at any part of history of new tech should make that obvious). Responsibility without data exploitation: again, pragmatism - if Tesla is still doing this in 10 years, then ye, I'd find it questionable, but right now, Tesla is the only entity on which to build hope on, if you actually believe and care about what they're trying to achieve. If you don't or think it's all for Elon's pocket, then you're mistaken (with plenty of proof around) and I hope you spend some time to challenge your beliefs. Privacy: this one's actually a balancing act. You want perfect privacy, go in the woods and hunt. In SaaS case, you trade some privacy for time and money saved. > Your arguments are apologetic in my view. I'm not sure how to express it without it sounding that way! > Faster? For what? May be tomorrow you will rationalize mass control with chip implants, because it is "progress" and this will get you faster toward the ultimate life goal : corporate profits. Pick 10 things your life depends on today (some hints: medicine and medical tech, transport, ...) and you'd be hard pressed to find any of them that don't trace back to so called "corporate profits" in capitalist nations. It's not the ultimate goal as you put it. It's the requirements to be in the game. If you wanna make large scale impact, you need capital, which comes from investors whom you need to keep happy. That's not to say no one goes in for the money, but if you spot a smart person who's earning it the hard way, it should be a good signal that they're not doing it for the money (hint: leading the first publicly traded car company in over half a century where every other ones in the country have gone bankrupt - many easier paths to making butt load of money faster).
