We bet an entire civilisation on an unthinkably brutal and comically unreliable stack, and now fate has come to collect that wager. California has a lot to fucking answer for.

    What mean “we” round-eye?

    I built my life around tech, but I never believed it was anything this article claims “we” believed.

    Tech is a tool, not a panacea. Apparently “we” never grew up watching Star Trek, or reading the many authors’ works that fully explored the folly “we” are building (Fahrenheit 451, I, Robot, Ender’s Game, any number of cyberpunk books, et. al.)

    Holy Fuck. A child could see this coming. I know because I saw it coming. Decades ago.

    It always gets dark before the dawn. This system sucks and is evil. I expect its collapse to be even more evil, but I’m looking forward to building something better.
