I always thought the tech guys would be the good guys. That's probably because I'm also in tech.

Good old knight fighting dragon and becoming a dragon after all :(

This is normal in business. Now that tech dominates they use that market position to setup monopolies. If we had functional anti-trust laws then it wouldn't feel so dire. Allowing monopolies in a capitalist system is the worst economic policy since socialism.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

This is why tech bros should read well beyond tech and don’t stop at Machiavelli like most do.

The first dragon wasn’t the bad guy, but natural order. The new dragon now intends to usurp natural order.

Technology can still help us, but it cannot save us. And it cannot be everything. It is one tool of many more intelligent tools besides.
