Apropos of which - Philip Ball on the myth of the neutrality of technology.
Surprisingly, Peter Thiel and Palantir, and other Tech Bro Oligarchs & Billionaires do not come out of the dunking smelling of roses.
(Doncha love how Musk, Thiel &c echo the extremist views of the ultra-Utilitarians, the Effective Altruist-wallahs who insist that all decisions should be made to benefit the quintillions of humans who will spread thru the Cosmos not today's Proles)

It's funny how those ultra-long-term decisions always seem to benefit the Tech Bro oligarchs & billionaires and their increasing wealth today as well, allegedly, as the intended beneficiaries - the notional humungous swarms of human beings who will have colonised the Cosmos in the far future, but never we, the ordinary people, who are alive around us today. #USpol #UKpol #Trump #GOP #MAGA #Thiel #Musk #Palantir #SpaceX #TwitteX #EffectiveAltruism #EA https://www.thenewworld.co.uk/philip-ball-the-dangerous-myth-of-neutral-technology/?utm_campaign=968afe29-39e7-45b6-a2e0-e403e0d51196&utm_source=1234589
