A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

the issue is that it seems quite likely that humanity will always have a subset of the population that lords over the rest of them, and that subset has a vested interest in keeping tribalism alive.
Sure, you can be an optimist and dream of a future that is radically different to how human culture has existed in recorded history, but the realistic expectation is that the widespread education that would need to take place just...won't.
