Its the worst of times, its the best of times. The digital revolution (or whatever this is) has degenerated into a bizarre mix of speculative frenzy, unprecedented concentration of control on a background of complete disregard for societal impact. Phoneyness and false representations abound - there are no repercussions. The "market" applauds.
Its time to go back to the roots of computing. Reinvent what the digital age means. Imbue it with soul and values in an inalienable way. 100% human-centric. Augmenting human ability, augmenting human society. There is enormous value in that. Not manufactured Ponzi value. Real value. Improving our lot. Solving the real problems of sustainability, persistent inequality, debilitating ignorance and suffering.
If you have talent now is the time to change the world. You know its not utopic because you have seen the extreme leverage of the digital toolkit.
- birdyrooster 5y agoHey while you are all fixated on values, I’ll be over here on Mars enjoying my full self-driving car, playing multiplayer games with Earthlings via StarLink on my Tesla phone, and recreating with my Tesla conjugal visitation bot. You’ll be impressed by how much Marscoin I’ve accumulated to buy things at the commissary of this work camp where we are terraforming the red planet for future inmates, erm I mean residents.
