@cwebber@social.coop to finish the thought I left behind: *actually most people with a lot of power are not interested in solutions to social problems at all, beyond "how can I maintain my power in the face of collapse", but they put on a show of searching for solutions because they need buy-in from a mass of people who really care about the social problems, and a chunk of those people remain conveniently under the illusion that technical advances will eventually solve the social problems because that way they can more easily uncountenance the fact that technical "advances" have often made the social problems worse.
