am not well educated on it, for context
I expect they're just gonna keep going till we're barely happy with it, or a little under that.
But we aren't. We're not doing enough.
There is a bullet coming towards our faces, and we are not moving out of the way.
I don't know how I'm supposed to graduate into this climate and be an optimistic member of society.
or microbiology if you prefer: bacteria (individual agents in a capitalist system) find a new source of food (the internet). the bacteria evolve to optimize their food collection, irrespective of what is "good" for the ecosystem. the food chain shakes up, the predators become apex, and when they've taken too much, they die off in a cycle.
right now we're at the "taking too much" stage. but I don't think anybody is dying off.
if you don't build the predatory addictive app, someone else will.
we all keep chugging ourselves along into tech jobs (myself included) and the system gets worse.
sucks to suck man not sure there's a way to fix it
