Tech is the funniest industry and it always will be.

It's a bunch of people who think they are creatures of pure logic, but every problem they try to solve turns out to be a human problem that is inherently illogical.

The results are endlessly hysterical.

@forrestbrazeal Since it’s hard to come up with what’s next, they use science fiction books to invent the future.

It’s funny and scary at the same time.

@laurentbourrelly @forrestbrazeal I think science fiction can be a great tool to invent and wrestle with the future (that has been a theme of several episodes of ‘Tech Won’t Save Us,’ the excellent podcast by @parismarx). The problem is these chodes don’t known utopia from dystopia, and identify with exactly the wrong themes and characters. That torment nexus joke keeps circulating for a reason.

@maxleibman @forrestbrazeal @parismarx I don’t disagree. We take inspiration from what we know and are familiar with.
Are they the best we got to build a better world? That’s where I have doubts.
