Most of our “brains” are mercenaries, who are actually a net loss to the country if you judge by anything other than the stock market. Look at what happened to SoCal! You are all welcome to our fintech/biotech/adtech/surveillance “geniuses”.

This is a sad take.

Separate these two things out perhaps ?

The stuff that’s happening now with enshittified tech and resources being poured into that.

Everything that happened before that, which set up the infrastructure.
