Basically, what we’re saying to people today is:
You’re interested in tech and you want a nice home (or just any home) and stability? Go work at Google, Facebook, or some other surveillance capitalist.
What’s that? You want to work on free and open source? Sure, go work at IBM or Oracle… Oh… you don’t mean enterprise software? Tech to protect human rights/democracy? Not for profit hippie-dippie crap for the common good?
Oh, then suffer.
I mean, is it any surprise things are as they are?
The market decides what's valuable. It's unfortunate, but so is nature. The fundamental unit of measurement in life is pain and suffering. Capitalism has managed to change that a great deal through innovation.
Life, nature, the world, the universe has never been fair. That's why we need cybersecurity professionals in ever vector.
@scottehzxor “Evolution by natural selection is the explanation for why we exist. It is not something to guide our lives in our own society. If we were to be guided by the evolution principle, then we would be living in a kind of ultra-Thatcherite, Reaganite society.
Study your Darwinism for two reasons: because it explains why you’re here, and the second reason is, study your Darwinism in order to learn what to avoid in setting up society.”

@scottehzxor “What we need is a truly anti-Darwinian society. Anti-Darwinian in the sense that we don’t wish to live in a society where the weakest go to the wall, where the strongest suppress the weak, and even kill the weak. We—I, at least—do not wish to live in that kind of society. I want to live in the sort of society where we take care of the sick, where we take care of the weak, take care of the oppressed, which is a very anti-Darwinian society.”
– Richard Dawkins 2/2
Unfortunatley, Dawkins ignores his own principles when it comes to trans and nonbinary people. He joined the TERFs and insists that "biology knows only male and female" - which is not even scientifically true anymore and furthermore has nothing to do with gender issues.
