More and more I find the flippant dismissal of the amazing breakthroughs that are constantly streaming in kind of disheartening.

Nobody is impressed by anything anymore, nobody is excited about the future - everything’s just “terrible” and everything looking forward is bad. I hate that mindset and I’m sick and tired of cynicism poisoning practically every online space. Thank you for saying it’s “lowbrow” and giving OP a little bit of a hard time.

the breakthroughs in tech are great, the way they are marketed, sold, and pushed in our lives by means of adtech everywhere... not so much.

Part of me says - and this is somewhat of a hot take - "then stop using platforms that mash ads into everything?" I don't know, like, I'm here for the rebel yell against global industrial capitalism - let's replace it with the solar punk world of our dreams, but... like, we're not going to do that any time soon, so instead of complaining about "how terrible everything is" let's try to do better. Let's be excited about this stuff. Let's be positive.
