We’ve got heaps of nice things because of techbros. Techbro Steve Jobs pumped out heaps of nice things, the main one being the device held in the hands of every girl on insta, without her even realising the complexity of what it took to do

In today's standard I don't think Steve Jobs would have been a techbro. At least not one like this prick Rush or SBF.. But who can tell, every coin has 2 sides I guess

I agree, so I guess I was commenting on the fact that successful techbros we don't mind so much, it's just the unsuccessful or egregious ones that stand out.

That iPhone you're using? More people died for it than did for the whole of the (Western) space program.

Couple you please explain and normalize the comparison? I assume you’re referring to Foxconn suicides that, as I recall, actually occurred at a lower rate than the relevant demographic groups. Or are you reaching further back into the supply chain (rare earth miners?)?

Are you solely counting astronaut deaths (and, if so, only the ones in the course of missions or also, say, T-38 crashes visiting contractors) or are you counting excess deaths among the 400,000 folks involved in the Apollo program?
