Calling it "evil" is too simplistic.

I prefer to think of current tech much like genetic diversity on a highly accelerated scale. The evolution of what survives has little intelligent design.

What works; works. What starves or causes damage to attract gov't regulation; dies or mutates.

What we are seeing is the chaos before an equilibrium is formed. We see the complex interaction of governments, corporations, cryptos, social media, AI, and humans - and as stable power structures form that can survive the tumult endure, so they evolve and become more "fit" than other elements in the ecosystem.

Think of it like a jungle, not a religious quest.
