The point about the historical villains all being there still still being awful to everyone is so apt. But a couple of things. Tech defines such an overwhelming share of the market that it's an impossible to disregard giant. And the world has changed so much owing to tech.
But I don't think tech has had a positive human narrative in almost a decade. The noveau riche arose as semi-gentle intermediaries originally, empowering & connecting the small, and every single play we see is to intermediate, not serve.
So where is the contemporary good to report on, where is the modern earned goodwill?
Instead what is emitted is double trash. It's all inscrutable/doesn't serve a clear need to boot. And it's far more owned and intermediated than ever... Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies, VR, and now AI. None showing the genuine enrichment humans could really tangle with that tech had brought us.
Neutrality is not enough, only mildly bad news is not enough. We need to make things that fill needs, and that expand imagination/open horizons, in ways where we ourselves can be part of the narrative.
But yes please let's also cover the genuinely detestable parts of the world as such. Let all be accountable.
