"It's not the technology that's the problem, it's the unquestioned assumptions of how we've collectively presumed it will be used."

Yes, our imagination is bound by the belief systems we are trapped in. We choose possession of plastic widgets with built-in planned obsolescence over giving poor people a cancer treatment.

It is collective behavior driven by belief. Public access to education would benefit all of us, but we don't do that because of some doctrines. Point is that what we leave unquestioned by believing it is just rational, blinds us.

When we will start to rationally and empathically examine our collective memes, we might allow ourselves a better future.
