   #optimizingforWhat @alondranelson speaking. Surprising that tech is not more central/ larger in this graph. Tech is underlying all policrisis currently experienced

     @vdignum @alondranelson Are you now thinking 'tech' in a wider sense than IT/Silicon Valley-style stuff?

     @vdignum @alondranelson because otherwise I don't see how 'tech' could underlie all of those things.

     @pettter @alondranelson tech is the widest interpretation. Not just big tech orgs

     @vdignum @alondranelson Right, but in that wide sense I'd say politics is as much or more a cause of those same issues.

     @vdignum @alondranelson In particular, some of those crises (notably debt, cost of living, and similar) are very much a result of political and economic decisions made by and in the WEF, and addressing them will require actions that I doubt will be popular there (e.g. debt forgiveness, active and determined wealth redistribution, both applied in a global manner).
