I just started reading "The Nerd Reich". It's silly and horrifying at the same time. It paints an explicit picture of those who want this techno-apocalyptic future to happen because they think they're superior to everyone else and will "ascend" in this new world order (the Theils and Elons of the world). Like honestly, have some freaking humility. Everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time.
We need to do better and demand accountability and oversight as a society. We can do it, we just need to stick together.
Father time will get us all anyway. No need to speed up the clock.
