Getting society to embrace sustainable, stable, non-tyrannical systems is hard. We dont really notice the slips & depravations as we fall away from Natural Science & observable world & into the infernal realms of legal, technocapitalistic, or other dominion, into man-maintained falseity. Trying to sell people on a future where we have options to see what happens, options to learn about the universe, where not all decisions made are fixed & immutable, where mistakes can be ammended - where possibility hasnt just fallen off & rotted away - is a hard sell; weirdly the biggest existential threat, the whole category of of stasis & inflexibility setting us on fixed courses, is one of the hardest freedoms to sell.

It should be an absolute no brainer to protect the species, to not close the book on possibility forever, to not let the species be limited & cajoled by impersonal & vast techno-captial-ocratic enterprises, that will hedge us in. But the short term wins arent super clear. "What is the use case?" "We dont know yet." We might have to enable possibility, act on principle, to find out.

The threat of living in a post science world, where the universe around us is illegibile because we made it that way, where we cannot learn or see or work some of the most important & connective matter around us, seems like it's worth all the cards, is a no brainer to go all-in to defend against. The war against general purpose computing is a slow & creeping infernal damnation.
