“I created Steve Bannon's psychological warfare tool”: data war whistleblower

It was very easy for me to take this personally, and become indignant. "What, a CANADIAN took money to actively sow discord, who helped maximize the impact of spreading lies to ruin the harmony between people and nations, for the benefit of his very wealthy, dare I say evil, overlords???"

Complete antithesis to what I deem as "appropriate use of information technology."

But the flip side is now he is indignant, brooding, guilty. At least he knows he did the wrong thing. But it would take a lot of effort to undo that. Maybe Brexit can't be undone. Maybe Trump changing the laws to promote rampant racism, can't be undone.

Let this be a lesson to the next generation of technically inclined persons: you can fool everyone, maybe even yourself, but is Brexit or Trump worth the paltry crumbs that the overlords left you so they could rake in billions? Or more simply, "are you a tool?"

There are better ways to use your ability, and countless ways to make a living. Be mindful of what you do in earning your keep.
