@glyph these were my answers for why the finance guys weren't calling bullshit on the tech guys from early into this bubble. (harder - to be fair, some did, but it didn't lead to mass consciousness bc neither of those camps really think of themselves as participating in society.) ultimately capital is very very tolerant of anything that multiplies capital, no matter how many bad consequence dominoes it's setting out ahead of the current moment. this is also why we're now at +1.5°C and rising.
