Software isn't going to fix the planet. That was all bullshit to make rich people feel better about taking most of the USD funny-money. Strong centralized planning in the form of a functioning government, structured around resilience, erring ever on the side of direct democracy, fluid representation, and lifting economic victims over perpetrators in power is what will fix the planet. It's common sense. The software will simply be reduced, so people stop building the same thing over and over: it's stupid, always has been, and the cries for more devs were always just to make it cheaper and more disposable.


No! It's all the knowledge we've amassed that we hardly put to any use beyond milking it for entitlements.

Who ever speaks about our duty to our fellow man and the giants whose shoulders we stand on?

I blame a lack of classical education on this performance based meritocracy that's become a runaway train with no ethical brakes.
