The greenwashing techbros with their le epic EVs want to build many more data centers for their treat printers. It’s climate denial with Singularity™ characteristics.
It really is amazing that the tech scene as a whole is devoid of intellectualism, even though the whole idea of tech was built on that in the first place.
Capitalism once again destroying everything it touches. The techbros think money = success = personal worth because capitalism ties a person’s value to how much profit they generate. Because the techbros have six figure salaries and college educations, they think they’re the pinnacle of intellectualism. Teachers get looked down on because they don’t make money, therefore the techbro is smarter than teachers.
And once you’re the smartest person that can exist, why do anything more? Why bother reading or making art? Why bother understanding philosophy or people who led political movements? You’re inherently superior and therefore an expert on those subjects because (again) you make more money than the people involved in that stuff.
It’s especially comforting to subpar failsons who were dipshits growing up and finally found something they were good at. But rather than having some humility, they gloat about how everyone who doubted them was wrong.
Techbros are deeply set in their ways and the ruling class techbros haven’t had a truly new idea since the 90s, instead just demanding their workers come up with new ways to try to chase that 90s invincibility high.
Tech is finally expected to actually turn a profit for the first time in almost 40 years. Which means everything is rapidly reverting to automated financial instruments.
And if it weren’t for denial, we wouldn’t have any climate change discourse at all
