  • The conspiracy take would be that someone wants the specific negative outcome we have and is deliberately calibrating their actions to achieve it

    “Hidden interests and hands” in this case more charitably refers to the vast complex system of distributed incentives that different actors in the system have. If everyone washes their hands of their own little corner of the problem and refuses to take accountability at any level, in aggregate it leads to negative outcomes at scale. And of course no individual actor would want to publicise knowingly looking the other way: thus, hidden interests and hands

  • Yep.. Times will change and eventually the faceless bureaucracy world we have now will morph into something more like Roman imperial military dictatorship or European absolutist monarchies. I only hope we can organically build social mitigations to the centralising power of information technology before that happens. Because as bad as it is now it would be much worse then

  • Yes, it’s like it lacks a coherent vision for what it’s producing.. as a result instead of the final piece being “greater than the sum of its parts” you just have a bunch of parts
