It’s a bit tragic that Ilya and company achieved the exact opposite of what they intended apparently, by driving those they attempted to slow down into the arms of people with more money and less morals. Well.
I am always bemused by how people assume any corporate interest is automatically a cartoon supervillain who wants to destroy the entire world just because.
Agreed, and we're also bad at being told what to do. Especially when someone says they know better than us.
What we are extremely good at is adaptation and technological advancement. Since we know this already , why do we try to stop or slow progress.
It is a good thing that society has mechanisms to at least try and control the rate of progress.
