Finished reading Prometheus Rising, not sure I'd recommend it. I think if you struggle to understand how Mazlow's hierarchy of needs factors into social & political situations it would be informative. The author has some pretty whacky ideas in hindsight. (He predicted that we'd have commercially available life-extension technology in 2005)
Big tech promising to censor less isn't an argument for more censorship. Lots of people going "mask off" about their commitment to top-dowm narrative control.
I’m no “techno-optimist” because I know the details matter. I’m no “techno-pessimist” because I can see how much potential is needlessly wasted.
I wholeheartedly believe the way forward is with equal parts courage and skepticism. Without courage, you’ll never try to improve anything. Without skepticism you’ll fall for every half-baked failure that comes along.
@matthew@social.fennell.dev You're saying |matrix| isn't it? :trollface: I wholeheartedly agree with your points though.By pushing for the adoption of open protocols in areas where they are not widespread, we can provide a level playing field on which free software can compete and succeed. This will allow the software in the “almost impossible to replace” bucket to become “possible but painful” at the very least.💯 but no easy task!
