Fun article! My favorite example of intellectual arrogance is Zuckerberg’s insistence on shifting Facebook’s focus to the Metaverse, apparently unaware--and unwilling to listen to those who are aware--that regular people actually enjoy reality and are not interested in spending their lives wearing goggles. (Google glass was a failure for similar reasons.) And now he has had to wind down that whole division and fire a bunch of workers. When if he had had a bit of humility and bothered to ask customers what they wanted, his company might not be in trouble.
Your dog is just adorable, by the way! Please give him some scritchy scratchies from me.

A nice overview of the convergence between tech and greater society.
Thanks Mark! This was far from my most well received piece so I appreciate it.
