it's a passive reference, and kind of a dog's eye view of why things happen. things have concrete causes, with people who want things for specific reasons. in tech, if you have accepted that tech is inferior and what you have when

I will use this to keep track of all these emerging abstractions. it's a smart play to establish this position between the rapid cutting edge and people who need to be able to reason about it but not implement it.
