Humanism needs to be taught in schools again and regain its status as a respected discipline in academia.

We thought it was a waste of time because the 1990s were relatively peaceful and tech optimism surged.

But you need to teach the classics, philosophy and even religion. No tech people should be allowed near politics in any capacity.

No we need more politics. The 'no politics' is a petite bourgeoisie moral escape hatch.

The dehumanization push is coming from the tech people.

Honestly, they're both partly right (the GP and GGP, not the techbros doing the dehumanization).

What we need is for there to be no such thing as a "tech person" who has never taken a humanities class in their life. In particular, we need all our tech people to have a solid grasp of ethics and the value of human life and dignity.

On the flip side, we absolutely need our politicians to have a solid grasp of technology, so they can't be hoodwinked into letting the tech sector just do its own thing unregulated as if it's separate from "real life".
