telling Americans how fucked they are by Big Tech is quite another.
Sure, he's worked for Big Think and climate start-ups like Ocean Bird. His approach of explaining complex, state-of-the-art technology simply, combined with storytelling gets him north of 100,000 followers.

So in a global numbers context, his story here is insignificant to most of the 6.04 billion internet users worldwide, who represent 73.2% of the global population.


My take on this? Don't believe his hype. Facts are facts. His opinion of what they mean for America is a story that prioritizes precision over general accuracy -- because labor, labor markets, and other economic and political dynamics can change his story. So no one can predict whether advanced capitalism has won yet.

Just my opinion, too, of course.
