"If it centralizes power, it’s bad. If it decentralizes power, it’s good. Build technology that is inextricable from its narrative. Build technology that will give us freedom, not enslavement."

I agree with this but technology alone won't get us there. What we're talking about here is politics and our current economic and political system will drive us further towards centralisation. This is the fundamental drive underlying our form of techno capitalism. Fewer and fewer players taking more and more control.

As individual engineers I absolutely agree that we should strive in this direction but there's no way around the elephant in the room, namely the need for systemic change.
