We’re often asked whether we’re optimistic or pessimistic about technologies. That’s the wrong question. If any of this matters, we need to stop seeing technology like the weather, to be merely forecasted, and instead see it like politics, to be collectively shaped.

a major issue with video games is that they produce a bunch of people who consider themselves brain geniuses for solving problems that were designed to be solvable. as a remedy, we should be making more games that are actively and irreconcilably hostile to the player. thank you

Do I want economic growth? Not for its own sake, no. I do want people to have decent, fulfilling jobs, and a good, secure, standard of living, and if economic growth is necessary for that, fair enough, but let us not confuse the means and the end. (End of today's homily.)
