Only 13% of adults in the US have an advanced degree. Coddled engineers live in an emotional bubble ignoring the very real world that does not feel an obligation to a minority of coddled engineers.
When a brain is trained to follow along from childhood, I don’t really see how it’s an option to avoid it.
Also the 13% are not all engineers. Many are historians or similar who babble nonsense. We built many big buildings and bridges before web devs came along.
Centralized ledgers used to dictate agency and what effort we must put in (computed by elites with a currency monopoly; which in the US is legally a speech monopoly thanks to SCOTUS) are not really the same thing as a bridge.
There’s a big difference between things we need to engineer and TV 2.0. Whole lot of IT is rent seeking.
Sundar has been quoted as saying “they are a business first” and a businesses political obligation is make profit for the owners.
These companies and technologies are meant to serve human beings, not a mathematical ideal in programmers heads.

Ooh but politics is boring!
