The *whole point* about technology, the digital economy, automation and AI is to free you from bondage. Everything is secondary to that. All of it needs to be filtered through freedom – is it making you more free or more trapped?

I am not primarily interested in the “freedom” framing of tech advances, but this is a valid way of thinking about it. Myself, I’m more interested in the “conquering the fucking galaxy” framing, but increased freedom could be a good path.

The one we’re on now is probably the worst possible, though. Good job.
