Technology is morally neutral, but how technology is used can be a great moral virtue or an abomination. There is a startling trend in technology that is exploitative, particularly of the young. From psychologically tuned algorithms that make the use of social media more difficult to resist, to controlling narratives and inciting the marginalized toward radicalization. There is a lot wrong in the world of technology...

But we aren't without hope. People are waking up to the power of technology, and the real danger that giant technology companies and foreign governments pose to people they use as means rather than ends. Technology is on the brink of causing economic upheaval as artificial intelligence and automation transform society and markets in ways no one can fully predict.

This post may seem dire, but I hope I can convince you despair is absolutely never the answer. Society has faced a long list of technological innovations that, while creating problems for many, lifted the standard of living for many more. The question is not whether we can stop the progress of technological innovation—that train has left the station—but whether we can steer innovation toward good ends: human dignity, subsidiarity, and the rule of law.

This post was written without planning because I needed a first post. Please do not take it more seriously than I have.
