So, the technocracy can use its billions (trillions?) of dollars (in aggregate) of influence to continue to perpetuate technology which buries us in distraction and dopamine hits and furthers the capitalist agenda, yet we are unable to amass the same kind of support and influence to tackle the existential problems with which we are confronted globally. Speaks volumes on the state of our humanity. Why do we let these people continue to drive the bus when it is not in our collective, long-term interest?
