- contagiousflow 1y agoTechnological change doesn't happen independent of culture. Stop with the technological determinism.
- smitty1e 1y agoThe proper counter will be cultural determinism, if sufficient people insist upon supporting human writers crafting real books.
- vidarh 1y agoI'd argue that technological change that is a simple enough iteration of existing technology that it can be carried out by small groups of people will happen independent of culture with a very high probability once a population is large enough. In this case, so many people are curious as to whether we can make this work and/or see financial implications that this will happen irrespective of whether wider culture rejects it.
