@tess I fully agree that tech is never complete solution but I do believe that the technical affordances we make/embrace do have real shaping effects on what we can do as humans on top of our technologies. And also what people can do to us. It would be better to get the worst people out of power, but until then…
That's kind of my whole bet in this phase of my life—working on the design of technology is probably my best lever for trying to improve the odds of communal survival. :/
