As a software architect, psychology is one of my super powers for this reason. We live in a world where the people building some of the most influential tools of thought are the very same people who refuse to acknowledge the difficulty of the problem or hold the human mind in sufficient reverence
As a psychologist, it's a really, really, really interesting and maddening set of problems here. Software development really exposes for me how we think about people's minds, even though it's an industry that likes to pretend it isn't thinking about people's minds at all.
But it really is.
But it really is.

A long time ago, a friend of mine introduced me to a profound idea. At the end of the day, every human organization only has one true purpose. To ensure its own continued existence. All other activities are ultimately about that.

my favorite part of this "decentralization acceleration" AI image is that for all practical purposes it clearly is not decentralized, since everything still stems from, connects to, and revolves around a centrally-important node

Cause here's the thing. If you're only ever looking at what seems to be the facts on the ground, everything looks fucking bleak. And you so you sound bleak all the fucking time. And that's not what people need. It's not what they respond to.

To be clear, I think it's reasonable to say you learned some new piece of history that you find particularly shocking. There are a lot of shocking things in America's past. What I object to is phrasing it as "I didn't I'd keep finding things that were this bad."
