"…I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free."

In UX, one of the lessons you have to learn is to balance what people say they want with what they actually want.
Looking at this, people want to ask questions without judgement. They want to access knowledge. They want free time.
The problem is AI only offers illusions of this.

I also connect this to the heavy armoring of our police departments even as violent crime dropped.
I feel that the combination of racism, paranoia, and appeals to create secure fortresses start perpetuating a cycle of further paranoia. The sunk cost must be justified as well.

Kinda yeah. This also fits with my theory abt Elon Musk selling CyberTrucks to people with fortress appeals. He grew up in SA, and one of the ways I tell Australia & SA apart on first glance is that SA suburbs are often heavily fenced. And the why of the fencing is an Angry Goose query.
My grand unified theory of suburbia is that camera doorbells are like SUVs, they provide an illusion of security while making you more paranoid
“Camera doorbells are social cancer as a technology, breaking down social solidarity and further encouraging people to see strangers with suspicion.”

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
