    What’s the long term play? We can teach our parents as best as we can and we can teach our kids the same, but from what i can tell they don’t really even care. What happens in 50 years, will the biggest tech companies just have unprecedented control of what people see and can do because no one who doesn’t get a career in it, just won’t care how things work?

      The long term play is regulation but good luck with that

      Why do you think the tech oligarchs are banding together to dismantle the government? They see the future you describe and recognize that we are at a key juncture to get there. Once the groundwork is laid they can go back to focusing on fighting each other for total dominance of the market
