@natecull What was naïvely optimistic was the techno-futurists insisting that it would be automatic, because the technology dictated it. I knew that was BS, because I knew enough about the history of first radio then television broadcasting to know that both those technologies had similarly naïve optimism about them when they first appeared on the scene. Nothing's automatic, and capitalism is biased towards making profits, not liberating people.

@paulfree14 'Any engagement with any government has been and will be guided by our ethics and principles'
In other words, short-term profit maximization, period. It's the official fiduciary duty of any capitalist corporation to its stockholders.
