A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Futuring needs a new subfield on Neverforgetting
We have got to figure out a way to break the cycle of “humans find ways to prevent bad things from happening, bad things stop happening for so long that humans forget they’re possible and remove the mechanisms of prevention, and bad things start happening again”

You're saying we gathered a bunch of left-brained, emotionally underdeveloped boys together into a semi-isolated bubble, told them they were the very cleverest boys in the world, told them that all rules & norms were merely "gatekeeping" preventing their brave "disruption" ...
and they went bad?!

How did Silicon Valley go from a hippie-adjacent place where people fostered their creativity turn into a malevolent force of right-wing destruction?

Hear, hear. What do these people think higher ed is? Who is supposed to serve?
AI boosters in higher ed are so embarrassing - deskilling yourself, for what? Eroding the value of education, for what? Pandering to the interests of the bosses and the billionaires, for what? Accelerating climate change, for what?
