In a different context though..about a Sidewalks Lab or Noom style smart city implementation shouting down environmentalists/lefties of my specific type. I am sick of the private sector in tech here thinking it can just hijack private spaces, cause accidents with force, implicit extortion and creepy snooping. Whether its about health, immigration, education or tech these are the worst imaginable solutions and so crass and myopic. And entertainment doesnt exist formally in my life and never will.
I am tired of the capture of my real world space by sleazy for profit corporations and a crappy narrative.
I use marijuana medically so I dont like intrusions on seclusion that too by people who could have histories of sexual harassment etc. I never meet such people irl but opaque systems invite such people not anyone decent. Its a strain on doctors, scientists, decent businesses like my small medical MJ company.
I feel bad for the ceo of my medical MJ company, my oncologist, the delivery men who deliver to my house and well
anyone I know..a lame and blah, but constantly (vaguely and directionlessly) saber rattling MeToo sympathetic feminist in a Tower of Babel cant be fun to know
.
Somewhere in there are some creeps in serious denial whom I never come across. What else could justify such a creepy implementation of tech ignoring reality for anyone except the very wealthy and powerful. Fuck these guys.
I dont take any of their stuff and they cant have any of mine. My life has been glass half empty and half full but its not half full because I am a sucker who falls prey to sleazebags. Its half full because neither my parents nor I exploit people. Yeesh
.this sort of bogus conservative and self serving brilliance with a hardluck narrative and low rent slum pushing sleazily
ugly fucks.
What makes real life not a spectacle is the absence of real conflict (except in boring ways you cant commodify) and of real life thats hard to exploit to get something for nothing. We need a Lina Khan where I live preemptively cracking down on tech companies, influencing, the entertainment industry etc. A MeToo plus Lina Khan powerhouse that could totally work where I live. I really would hate my street and home and city to go the way of this crass city where my former workplace was located. The entertainment industry where i live is notorious for sexual harassment.
