I thought it was so cool how a non-profit made one of the most game changing tech products in years. Then I was incredibly bummed when I realized they weren't a non profit anymore.

This type of reasoning is so sketchy. Language is only roughly mapped to thought, it isn't an exact thing like mathematics.

The problem is that people with a lack of guilt are the ones who usually end up in leadership positions.

Considering how a technology could be mis-used shouldn't be frowned upon.

Without the early retirement part.

Yes. From experience I can attest that they are two doors to the same house, so to speak.

I think an important aspect that pieces like this gloss over is actually how to go about starting to think like this. If you're someone who's actually spent their entire lives living in a conformist approach, it might not be that easy to simply unlearn this overnight and start to see the world in a totally different way. Also applies for learning how to work through engineering or design problems from a first principles approach.

Ecological collapse will likely tumble us more into a black mirror future as populations become increasingly dependent on technology to fulfill their needs.

Great and fun idea, but the resolution of these files is incredibly low.
