I appreciate that, and I agree it’s a definite phenomena. It read to me as a story that heavily uses SF as an example and it just doesn’t track. If anything, there is opposition to tech obsession *because* of its industry here. It’s a valid topic but framing it around SF weakens the piece for me.

I see it everyday in, if you can believe it, SF. You’re right that not enough people are focusing on those changing the tide or the incredible levels of engagement in our communities, *especially* during these authoritarian times. The doom loop is very enticing media.

I’m so tired of ppl
dunking on SF. I live here and I agree nationally people are turning into zombies, but there is a clear, strong, and refreshing movement here to be more engaged IRL across all levels. You get what you project!

Even the greats need to make a buck though, I guess. Disappointing.

She thinks the people are this gullible. They all do.

Confidently believes the people are dumb as shit. Embarrassing behavior.
