It’s pretty easy to opt out of corporate dystopia without being jailed or murdered. People love to brag about how they quit social media.

This sounds like people want to have the benefits of these platforms without accepting the trade offs.

Sure, but it’s a different dystopia than Gibson or Dick our Paul Verhoucen (sp?) predicted.

They reflect common, primal human fears and are not indicative of insight. Just as my fear of heights does not provide wisdom against constructing/operating tall things - whether it be buildings, pyramids, or airplane flights.
