   @trdebunked When you focus on the line goes up and tech just taking over everything, you've made computers the thing.

   You ignore the other things. You've not really got joy. Only the need to win over others.

     But I take that quote as meaning we want to put some form of our hearts into what we do.

     I don't want to build a tool that enables soulless decision making without accountability.

     But I also think if you can't put your joys into what you do, it's never going to be that great either. True joy to me is being able to share that experience of joy with others.

     @trdebunked I think tech always has an element of almost mysticism to outsiders.

     Like with politicians thinking we can come up with a magic key so they can still have encryption but they can access those messages.

     Or tech bros thinking they can automate moderation.

     Take the magic away and it's clear that humans are inflicting their idea of what a society should be.

     Computers aren't magic, but a lot of people think they are.
