A true 1950s banality, charcaterizing the problem(s) as one of omnipotent machines vs. omnipotent humans. That machines, like all tools and tech #infrastructure, create preferences, necessities, and practical constraints that contribute to and determine the options human beings have in their decisions, in fact, the human-machine symbiosis that is in existence since the Palaeolithic, is conveniently ignored in favour of a conception of man of free agency. That is rubbish. Not only with regard to man-in-environment constraints, but also with regard to an underlying scientism that relies heavily in its naïvety on a primitive 19th and 20th century Empricism.
