   I think it's hard to have a proper discussion about the wider role of tech upon society without people diving in to protect tech.

   I say this as someone who is involved in a few spaces like this - trying to recover tech from the evil cold grip of the techbros, with lots of well-intending people.

   We never question the real urgent need for tech - it just becomes this constant baseline assumption, that tech MUST exist! Protect the tech at all costs!!!
