#Solutionism
Yet another example of blind #solutionism forced upon us by the tech oligarchy. Walking and biking is healthy, is good for our mental health, helps to exercise our social muscles, increases local and global environmental awareness, just to name a few. Nothing of all this is delivered by robotaxis.
All of this feels like blind #solutionism. These things get rolled out because corporations expect profit, not because there’s any coherent public vision guiding them. There’s no proper framework shaping the direction, nor are cascading consequences of these shortsighted decisions properly assessed.
The genius of #solutionism: abolish taxi drivers, strip them of their livelihoods, and then wonder why those left behind grow angry & alienated. (Sarcasm intended.) Our obsession with technology for its own sake keeps producing the same cycle of disruption and disillusionment.

The avg manufacturing costs of a drug should be labeled on the bottle.
Example
Sale price for 30 pills (1 month prescription) = $600 ($20/pill)
Manufacturing cost on label = $1.50
($.5/pill)
This is American real theft.

Why hope?We're human animals, & can work with immensely sophisticated more-than-human, the creativity of nature developed over 4 billion years, to change.
And re your 5: that's what I call #solutionism. You use a sledgehammer to knock down a wall; that's not what you'll use to build it up again
Simply not OK to run stories like these - #feelgood #solutionism that treats #climatebreakdown as some sort of external inevitability. Not even a tiny mention of causes, let alone #climateAction […]
Exactly that:
"While promising, progressive blockchain networks are largely still ‘thought experiments’ while the most powerful, successful ones are ‘extractive’ ."

If you like what I'm saying here - rejecting nuclear #solutionism powering more destruction of the Earth on which six of nine #PlanetaryBoundaries are already exceeded, and saying no one wins a nuclear war, you might like #ChangeEverything

Prescient thinking on #solutionism: "A very conservative approach that seeks to preserve the current system instead of reforming it. ... optimising our behaviour within the existing constraints rather than changing the constraints to begin with"

The text ends with a good statement against technological #solutionism: "The problem with predictive policing is the policing part [...] The data about where crime occurs and where victimization occurs, that’s something that should be studied. But that doesn’t mean that the solution is policing."
