I appreciate the people who are developing and evangelizing technology to fight these problems, but in my opinion it's akin to putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound. The problem is that the US government has repeatedly shown itself to be acting without an acceptable level of honesty, transparency, responsibility, or ethics. Until that changes, I don't think technology is going to solve this problem.
- enraged_camel 13y agoExactly. Fundamentally, we are dealing with a social problem. And while you might be able to mitigate social problems with technology, you cannot solve them. And even with mitigation, all you are doing in the end is getting in an arms race.
- grecy 13y agoI agree with you wholeheartedly, though to continue your analogy, the problem of gun violence doesn't mean we should stop innovating band-aids.
