douglas adams's story about the civilization that built a giant computer that gave the ultimate answer but nobody knew what the question was so they put all their resources into building an even bigger computer just to figure out the question ... it feels more plausible every day.

So much of today's reality has been ripped off from science fiction.

Tech-bros looked at all the dystopian warnings, and saw instruction manuals.

It's not tech-bros. They are just normal people. Normal insecure dumbasses like everyone else.

It's just capitalism. You don't survive if you are not an aggressive lying sob and there is no accountability if you are. That's it.

@Noisecolor @davidtheeviloverlord @typeswitch As opposed to the dedication to the public welfare of communist commissars.

@60sRefugee
I know your are being cheeky, but I literally don't think it would be worse in any way.

The whole world would need a period of communism. At least until we eat this new paedophile aristocracy.
