But then societies seem to be going well until they’re not. Boiling frogs I guess. And nobody reads the history as it’s all been done before and the clues are just there written down.
After nazi germany fell, many nazis were able to go into hiding, to flee or wait and eventually even regain positions of power. When the internet and personal computation doesnt get pruned, it will be harder for all those individuals to hide. Maybe thats a bad thing in all those dynamics. Maybe thats a psychological lock-in, which makes them hold on to their destructive way forward.
All the others starting from Zuck and Musk too of course but their media apps are more scattered and tweets don't have the same impact as a weekly podcast.

For the most pure-tech focused and politically reluctant it's still possible to be overwhelmed by such stupid shit that it makes all your tech look pretty insignificant no matter the upside. Normally stupid shit comes about randomly from all directions naturally without anybody working against anybody else at all. But it can be really hard to ignore when the dark side "gangs up" and starts taking prisoners, and it can happen so quick it makes peoples' heads spin.
