Investigative Journalism

Here ya go:

The problem is relatively new, but the solution is very, very old. It’s the same answer trotted out by acolytes of the entirely-made-up Ned Ludd. It’s acted out on robotaxis, brought to halt by activists using strategically placed cones. We see it from every protester who has ever gone limp in the arms of state-sanctioned goons. The very messy humanity that these technical solutions seek to eradicate often become the best way to fight back against creeping technofascism. Become a real nuisance and tech boosters will eventually give up, handing the future back to the pestering, teeming masses.

On the flip side, a people-forward way of living, with a lot less technological intrusion, would definitely involve more annoyance. It would mean deleting your delivery apps, making phone calls to other humans, leaving the house and going shopping in person. It will mean accepting once again, however painful it may be, that balls and strikes are whatever the umpire says they are.
