alt Hacker News> As someone who has spent a vast portion of life believing technology would make life better, I've come to the realisation that this idea is a fallacy.
I have to very regularly remind myself many people genuinely believe this shit and are not straight up evil/maniacs, it's getting harder

What, so you believe technology corrupts absolutely? Nonsense.
I'm thinking that personally, technology is not bad in a vacuum and not necessarily bad in society, but it just reveals that our system is ill-equipped to guarantee good usage of it.
We could have fun defining what's good usage but we're so far from it, it would just make me sad.
