True, and I admit to getting hot under the collar.
But I would argue that in a way that articles like this should get viewed and discussed by the HN crowd in the context of hacking civilization.
This particular subject absolutely defines the world in which we live in, and a it's not a pretty picture. It happens because we let it, and we let it because we collectively don't care. We collectively don't care because we remain (intentionally) ignorant of the situation.

It's turtles of despair all the way down....
