Patrick Hadfield@GeoffWozniak @kcarruthers me too, and I didn't even lie!
Keira (She/Her)@kcarruthers one moment, changing my header image.
(Also not a tech bro)
brendan (ジャンク品)@kcarruthers 6%, not a tech bro 😎
mastodon quixote@bnys @kcarruthers did you also answer that some existing institutions have to be destroyed
Jmbmkn@valrus @bnys @kcarruthers That was the one that I agreed with, I don't have strong views on which institutions, but some of them must be part of the problem.
Valdus@valrus
Me, ride sharing with anarchists on disxord: the existing institution we need to destroy is uber.

Field Replaceable Unit@kcarruthers One test I'm happy to have scored 0% on.
Chloe G artist@kcarruthers Do people really think those things they have in the questions? Those ideas would seem to indicate that those people are insensitive, greedy morons. We have another word here for those types of people, but it would be indelicate for me to share that in this conversation.

Jeroen Baten@kcarruthers me neither. Only 17% agree.
Billy Smith
webhat@kcarruthers I got 11%, something with disruption. The only one I can think of was when I agreed with something like we need to destroy some current institutions, maybe I read the question wrong and I was thinking about the monarchy, the police and capitalism in general
David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)I got the same, but some of those questions were hard. In particular, the one about eliminating jobs was binary and I see a lot of nuance there. There are a lot of jobs I’d be very happy to eliminate. My ideal rule of thumb is: in a post-scarcity society, if no one had to work, would people still do this? My more pragmatic one is: in a society with UBI where people didn’t have to work to survive, but did for luxuries, would there be enough people willing to do this job at no more than double its current wage for it to be sustainable? If not, let’s automate it.
There were a few others like this. I said ‘no’ to the one about large problems having technological solutions, but I do believe that technology is going to form part of the solution to many of these things (and some of the technology already exists and isn’t deployed for social / political / economic reasons).
A few others were also firmly ‘no but…’ kind of questions.

Paul McEwan@kcarruthers Neither am I; I scored 0%. 🙂
leberschnitzel@kcarruthers 11% Techbro here. Not unexpected.
slotos> Sometimes existing industries and institutions need to be destroyed so something better can emerge.
Knew it would be the weird one out the moment I saw that load bearing “emerge”.
