I don't think that's true. It's more like we value people to spam other people with ads and other trivial minutia more than other things.

when was the last time there was a credible threat against the United States that the defense industry was helpful in neutralizing?

Perhaps the reason for that is just having that defense industry.

Imagine if all of the FAANG engineers took their resources to make the place a better world <snark>. All of that energy on delivering the better ad could be so much better spent on <insert cause of choice here> instead of delivering ads and building the better big brother.

Sure, I agree. I just think defense is a weird thing to pick. Our governments need a lot of help with tech, I think the DoD actually needs less help than most other parts.
