I have worked in and with technology for almost 40 years, and genuinely love the potential of smart technology. But I never liked its bad totalitarian overreach, devolving to the monisms from which we as a species have long emerged.
Many technology purveyors grossly overreach their power, applauded by a pageantry of positivity, destroying in its path the principal values of a democracy we fought so hard to secure.
