Re:Technosolutionism Isn’t the Fix by causalmodels on Monday January 18, 2021 @02:08PM (#25825296)
My issue with the article that o treat technosolutionism as something imposed on society by engineers misses the point entirely. Technosolutionism is a response to the complete failure of our deliberative democratic institutions to deliver actual solutions to our problems. It is not reasonable to ask people to trust their institutions when they have frequently and completely failed the people they were created to serve. If we want people to trust deliberative democratic processes, and I think we should, then we need to ensure those bodies are actually capable of functioning.
