    Stupid men like oversimplified phrases that make themselves think they’re better than others.

      smart tech makes dumb people, dumb people make dumb tech, dumb tech makes smart people, smart people make smart tech.

      … i like this oversimplification, and can contrive calling myself smart from it.

      so i must be a stupid.

      wise tech makes wise people, wise people make wise tech.

      are they even better than others, by their own logic? they make it sound like a natural cycle, where the hard/softness of people is a natural consequence of the times which made them. the times are just a natural consequence of the hardness of the people.

      with this framework, if times are bad right now, that can’t be some great moral failing, after all the people allegedly responsible, did not chose to make them so, and anyway, the times will get good again soon enough, … and then go bad again. it might just suck to live through the hard times.
