Everyone here is commenting on Covid, vaccines, social policy and
whatnot.
I can't help but see a different, bigger and human story here.
It's about how the systems people erect around themselves turn against
them. Gated communities whose guards become jailers. Convenient fast
food delivery systems that become tools of rationing and siege. News
and communications systems turned to propaganda and social control.
Meanwhile the only good vibe in here is the person-to-person charity
and sharing that occurs amongst the "prisoners".
We should look at this and learn a very important lesson as
technologists.
