I think people get confused and backed into untenable positions because they try to save and justify one part of the Leviathan while lambasting its newest appendage. No, friends. I'm wrangling this beast but I know it all needs to be burnt starting at the top.
If you're not willing to prioritize mushrooms and babies over silicon and banking, you'll get confused quick.
Or to swap analogies: "do you fight for the users, or are you still misguidedly trying to build the perfect system?"

People apparently don't have the memory of technology to realize things like, the first pocket calculators were bad. They were unreliable, they ate up batteries and were the size of a paperback novel, you had to punch in your calculation at least twice to check it. But it was better than what came before it and now they're all over and even allowed on tests. But they're all made with earth-damaging processes and materials. Do we really need them? That's the bigger question.
