A lot of the driving force behind wanting to disrupt isn't just greed for wealth, it's also the fact that large capital is mostly unoriginal, uninnovative, uncomfortable. People see the problems, and try to come up with solutions, but often they try to solve everything by just throwing more technology at it, without ever grasping the bigger picture. #latitude59 #capitalism
Please excuse my toot tsunami.

Of course it's very naive to think that startups will innovate our problems away. We need strict government regulations because big business doesn't care at all. They must research and invest in carbon neutral synthetic fuel, power to gas, renewables, and (in my opinion) nuclear power to get rid of coal and oil ASAP.
Personal points inspired by #latitude59 #social and #environmental problems.

The optimism of the startup scene is awesome, but we shouldn't just ask the question "can we do it?", we should ask the question, "should we do it?" more often. My 2 cents on #latitude59

It's interesting to see a new generation of startups sprouting and growing well, doing almost the same business as startups from 10 years ago, but a bit better, more efficiently, and with less greed. It's a step forward, even if it's a small step. #bolt is better than #uber but that's a very low bar... #latitude59

My personal hot take: just forget the growth-above-everything mindset already! It isn't healthy, not even at the start. It is the root of so many issues we face in our societies, environment. Please talk about the uncomfortable; wealth inequality, economic and ecological exploitation! #latitude59

There were interesting and well thought out talks on IT sec, the problems media is facing, opaque, unaccountable systems - I will link a few here. I hope people will take these into account.
I missed the topics of alternative economic models, open hardware, donation-based strategies, and companies run as collectives. #latitude59

The disturbing part for me was the apparent lack of awareness about the social impact of the technologies being created. Environmental issues were mostly just a pitch point. Also the investors valued the machine learning ideas with the highest abuse potential. Startup culture is still mostly just turbo capitalism. #latitude59
