You know it’s bad when a TECH person is talking about externalities. The majority of tech people I know simply do not care about negative costs to anything. Making Money Is Good “Progress” Is Good And they do not care who they hurt, what they damage, or what we lose in the process of those 2 things. Perhaps tech bros care about plastic because it’s a consequence they can’t be isolated from. 100% of people, plants and wildlife have to deal with this https://x.com/karpathy/status/1826372336213524715

We got em! I also think this is my biggst issue with e/acc. Like sure we can accelerate things, but have you ever considered that things can remain bad for a very looong time. And that maybe you only hold this view because you have sufficient privilege to shelter from it.

I'm reminded of the meme/cartoon of the older lady responding to the youngin' accusing older lady of not being "green enough" I used chatgpt to get a shorter list of her reply: Bottle Reuse: Returned milk, soda, and beer bottles for wash/reuse. Paper Bags: Used reusable brown paper bags for groceries & book covers. Walking/Biking: Walked/biked instead of using cars for short trips. Cloth Diapers: Washed & reused cloth diapers. Clotheslines: Dried clothes on a line using wind and solar power. Hand-Me-Downs: Passed down clothes between siblings. Manual Appliances: Used hand-powered kitchen tools and push mowers. Water Fountains: Drank from public fountains instead of single-use bottles. Refillable Pens and Razors: Refilled ink pens and replaced razor blades instead of discarding them. Public Transport: Used streetcars, buses, and bikes for transportation. Minimal Electronics: Had fewer electronic devices and smaller TVs. Recycled Packing Materials: Used old newspapers for packaging instead of bubble wrap.

it's because most of the externalities are vague and unprovable "social media makes people feel worse" or "disinformation is ruining democracy" are a lot less concrete of claims than "everyone has microplastics in their balls, check the X-ray" tech people want concrete evidence regarding the claims over what is causing what externality

Apparently, the tech person is Raw, being so driven by the positives such that it outweighs any negative outcomes isn’t so bad to me, but do you think there’s a lingering negative consequences of this ?
