Neither the position to keep all the old solutions because they are old nor to adopt all the new solutions because they are new is sensible.

That’s what really bothers me about it. I actually got an education in STEM and was really hyped to contribute to building new technologies, until I came to understand that the people leading the charge appear to be hardliners driving as forcefully as they can to implement a completely artificial world right here and now.

They’re already attacking agriculture for the existential threat of cow farts.

The more I’ve learned about technology, the more hardline I’ve become against having it in my life.

The world is not a blank slate to paint on. Every new thing that you add to your life takes away something which used to be there in previous generations, and the consequences of such can be far reaching and unpredictable. Society as it was, was not built overnight through deliberate intention, but was hard won by millennia of blood, sweat and tears. Changing everything now on the whims of fully grown toddlers who are so wealthy that they’ve never even been aware of the existence of the real world is the peak of insanity.

While I also disagree with the claim that technology is “fundamentally” insecure

For pretty much everyone other than perhaps the CIA and Mosad, it is.

Computer technology is fundamentally insecure so long as everything is connected all the time. It drives me mental that idiots keep trying to foist the whole of human society onto devices which are clearly unfit for the task.

No, not like that!

Nah man. Everyone criticizing their decisions are just racist, homophobic, bigots. Now be a good little peasant and go fight the other peasants while daddy Marduk rapes Tiamat for fun and profit.

Remember to hit the gym and lawyer up next.

I’m just waiting until they remember why borders are a thing that exists.
