I just finished reading Careless People
I didn't think I could hate Facebook and the rich techbros any more than I already do, but holy shit, this book is making want to start learning how to build guillotines.
It also does a great job on showing how power and wealth just make people into sociopathic simulacra of humanity.
You could build all the guillotines you want, you won't be able to change human nature. Until we can force people out of the validation casino that is social media, the Tech world or the next vampiric capitalistic cliche will just step in.
Human nature is flexibility and empathy . We can totally change how humans act by having a different system that doesn't promote sociopathy
Do you believe this can be brought about? If so, how?
That's just not the case. Humans engage in social contracts because they have a benefit to themselves. If acting selfishly causes more gain than acting socially, people overwhelmingly act selfishly. It's one of the reasons the original Dark Sector in The Division horrified psychologists.
