Therein lies the problem with hyper-individualism. It's not a virtue. It's just selfish. And short-sighted. It's the basis of First They Came [1].

It's even worse for tech people because tech fundamentally is about systems. Society is a system.

The reaons some of us care so much about how the least of us are affected by these changes is because the fabric of society depends on so many people and it hurts all of us when society falls apart. You don't have to be disabled to care about disabled rights, for example, because everybody is one incident away from being disabled. Just look at long Covid.

This isn't some Darwinian game where the "strong" "win". Or at least it doesn't have to be.
