The cognitive dissonance it must take to usher in the conditions for a communist revolution, while simultaneously bankrolling Donald Trump, proves US Big Tech is run by people who are far less smart than they think they are.

They are smart at one thing: shortsighted profit. That is all. Everything else is an irrelevant skill.

True. I'm not going to let my children watch it, but I'll be sure they read about it. If it happens, that is. The billionaires could still wise up and get good at obeying laws and respecting the commons. Except maybe they can't because their parents didn't raise them right?
