To be honest, this development is simply the logical consequence of applying the principle of profit maximization.

Unfortunately, technology has now reached such a scale that the people behind the spreadsheets are willing to sacrifice humanity itself.

That, too, is not surprising, because they will only realize their mistake when it is already too late.

Another example of the same principle is climate change.

    Hahaha. What a terrible example. Do you know how the black hole in the movie Interstellar was made? Do you know what a virtual green screen is? There’s too much we don’t know because people are specialized in it.

      The entertainment industry is obviously just one simple example.

      The reason I mention this example is that you’ll have a hard time defining what culture is - and, consequently, why it makes sense to preserve it.

      Attempting to engage in such a discussion on a social media platform is doomed to fail from the start.

      I had assumed that what I mean would be clear enough. That’s why I included the comparison with climate change in the description.
