Note on The Sound of Inevitability via Tom Renner

These are some big names in the tech world, all framing the conversation in a very specific way.

Note also the threatening tone present, a healthy psychological undercurrent encouraging you to go with the flow, because you’d otherwise be messing with scary powers way beyond your understanding.
