very debatable that the world is a better place after the development of distributed processing engines.

Source: I'm a data engineer and almost every application I've seen in production made the world a worse place.

The manifesto is extremely naive and it's not a manifesto. A call to action with an ethical goal doesn't make sense without an ethical framework to decide what to implement and what not. Otherwise it's just implementation for the sake of implementation, nothing different than what is already done by random projects on GitHub.
