Legit, I think there's something to this. Rich people who lack basic skills always had people to help them seem capable to the outside world, but still felt the private humiliation of, say, their assistant knowing they're illiterate. A non-sentient assistant frees them from this last burden

He might seem pretty smart and plugged-in by the standards of old institutional money, but compared to basically anyone who liked sci fi as a kid and maybe owns a couple Ray Kurzweil books, he's pretty unremarkably average

At some point the malicious people and organizations figured out that they could just be "incompetent on purpose" and would be given the benefit of the doubt, basically forever. "Oops, i keep making these honest mistakes which are coincidentally very profitable to me! Oops oops oops!"

Just like that old chestnut about the monkeys who were taught not to climb the ladder and wouldn't let any newcomers climb it either; the real problem in linux now is dealing with all the still-traumatized users from a decade ago.

Some Rube Goldberg machines involve an actual spring mousetrap, and incorporating both a mouse and a mousetrap into the same machine is generally considered insensitive, so we make exceptions for those.

Maybe something about learning to be more happy with the moral values of your choices, than with little treats. Like if you can't summon up enough joy and pride from knowing you did the right thing, if that feeling can't complete with some roller coasters... that might be a failure of self esteem.

even the title, "the ones who walk away" is a subtle lie; the story is really about the ones who stay. That bit about the treason of the artist and the banality of evil, isn't just the narrator's accusation; it's their confession

I took it as an unreliable narrator story. Earlier they said the society runs without slaves, cops and so on; but what could "slave" mean if it doesn't include the child? There would certainly be attempts to free the child, and people whose job it is to foil them. What to call them, if not cops?

What if "social media" as a technology, and "capitalist ownership of the social media platform" as a sociopolitical phenomenon, are entirely separate ideas to be considered on their own?

Look, I hate the current guy too, but this is embarrassing, naive nostalgia. Obama's administration laid the groundwork for lots of what's happening now, and if you can't bring yourself to criticize it, best avoid political discussions altogether.
