For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I can't say I agree with all I read about him, but this paragraph I quoted got me thinking and I recognized it as a warning.
I wouldn't say that I'm in favour of a Luddite way of living or want to join the Amish.
I would like having a SWOT analysis of technology though instead of blindly adopting it and dealing with fallout later if ever.
The realist in me realizes that there's money to be made and that's why technology gets shoved down our throats by oligarchs whether we want it or not.
