@Catvalente I think you’re giving start-up tech bros far too much credit for independent thought. They’re just dreaming of dollar signs and nothing else.

@megsobrien @Catvalente Exactly—there is no long-term thought in these ventures, just a quick cash grab, a “novel” way to extract money that was previously tied up. Even the ones whose pitch is long term (Mars, cryogenics, etc.) are doing a short term cash grab with no actual care for what happens next. |
@megsobrien @Catvalente which is a huge part of the problem.
When confronted by the reality of the impacts of their actions…they deflect in an impressive number of ways: deny, minimize, demonize, refute, offer whatabouts and both sides (etc), until they finally shrug and say "okay, well, I got mine"
