The crazy thing is that nothing will change unless someone takes control to stop the corporate-controlled stalemate that runs our society. The far right is awful, and the fact that they are the only ones capable of getting it done is probably the most terrifying notion this country has experienced in my lifetime. It's just going to be splitting all the wealth with another group of nerdy billionaire assholes and making a worse gov. I just want to wake up and realize it's a nightmare.

If that's the case, then humanity is doomed.
Billions of dollars, and they can't afford to buy ebooks?
If this happens, can we please all make a protest or petition with the FCC?
They need a tech ethics board, and people need a license to operate or work in decision-making capacities. Also, anyone above the person's head making an unethical decision loses their license, too. License should be cheap to prevent monopoly, but you have to have one to handle data. Don't have a license. Don't have a company. Plant shitty surveillance without separate, noticeable, succinctly presented agreements that are clear and understandable, with warnings about currently misunderstood uses, then you lose license. First offense.
Edit: Also mandatory audits with preformulated and separate, and succint notifications are applied. "This company sells your info to the government and police forces. Any private information, even sexual in nature, can be used against you. Your information will be used by several companies to build your complete psychological profile to sell you things you wouldn't normally purchase and predict crimes you might commit."
I've been trying to tell people for 15 years. It hasn't worked a single bit. It's frustrating that people think they have nothing to hide when their carelessness and lack of tech knowledge is ruining the future of the next generations. I just can't try to explain it to everyone. They don't link the relation at all. I thought maybe eventually, they would just get it, but here we still are...
He's not going to learn and grow when they've elevated his positions and, therefore, his ego and sense of importance. People talk about empathy, but having a high EQ is not as easy as people make it out to be. The average human does not have the intelligence to understand the hardships of others without ever having experienced those hardships themselves.
We'd need to isolate the gene responsible.
They had plenty of time to discover the reasons for opposing views and alternate media sources to see things from the other side. However, you're partially right, at least, that I should have more empathy. I will try to remember it and make an attempt moving forward. At this point, their decisions have made my everyday life a nightmare, so it will be tough, but I guess I should still try.
Agreed. It's not safe for anyone at this point.
I feel like the last on the list is on everything these days. 400 pages of ToS.
I'll bet all those dummies can punctuate properly. !!!
