The whole point is that the prevailing wisdom says that all technological progress is good and anyone who disagrees is a Luddite

If this were said about anything else, original thinkers would sniff it out a mile away

Culture has value and is impacted by technology, we should have the courage and ability to judge that

Uber / Lyft = good technology 

TikTok / Instagram = bad technology

I don't think short-form is inherently bad, but TT/IG business models have shite incentives and ensure content is a commodity. OG IG was awesome, people used to curate their pages and explore their creativity before brands got on board.

bad take imo. 

streaming companies can still make good movies without absurd budgets. Good Will Hunting was 10 mil budget and grossed hundreds of millions. 

uber/lyft are good for their purpose

instagram and tiktok are good for their purpose

social connection, entertainment, attention economy are all valid.
