- akoboldfrying 2y agoWhy do you consider an attempt to focus a public discussion on the most important uses of a new technology to be an admonishment?
- fragmede 2y agoit certainly reads as one, and calling them "most important" reveals your bias that those uses are more important too. Like it or not, the way society is currently arranged, making stuff for rich people is more profitable than making things for poor people, and greed can kick in, so people do things out of love of money rather than necessity. were the deck stacked more equal, maybe things would be different, but human psychology is devilishly complex.
