    @scott@carfree.city @CathyTuttle@social.ridetrans.it He succinctly describes why I never had an interest in listening to most tech influencers— “At the slightest hint of a threat to their complacency, [consumers] repeat, like a chorus of toads, the notes sounded by their leaders in industry.” Which is so apt with the infatuation of philosophy (see e/acc) in Silicon Valley. As if the ramblings of a CEO were ancient texts that must be studied. “Thus consumers become salesmen, and the world is made safer for corporations.”
