The tech industry's relationship with reality has gotten pretty wild. When billion-dollar losses become "success stories," maybe it's time to step back and ask what we're actually building toward.
Real progress happens when regular people have a voice in shaping the systems that govern their lives. That's democratic innovation at work.
