@theorangetheme @verge @octothorpe We had two visions of possible futures: dystopian nightmare in which people die left and right and no one hardly even notices that they did or an optimistic future where tech is used to solve crises and improve lives.
Every single person we put into power really loved the idea of being the bad guys in the dystopian nightmare, so here we are.
We had Star Trek and we had Mad Max. They picked Mad Max and we gave them the power to do it.
