I’m calling this the "Janina Duszejko Effect," after Olga Tokarczuk’s protagonist. The architects of the system are finally experiencing the interpretive violence they built for everyone else. Eventually, you cannot drive your plow over the bones of the dead and expect to grow a living future.

Crucially, the "tech fraternity" is an operational mode. When you insulate development from societal critique you build a brittle monoculture.

Not a sci-fi envisioned utopia.
