    The comic isn’t showing an outright dismissal, though. The doctor hasn’t arrived at a conclusion just by asking a question that seems unrelated.

    Doctors do that kind of digging all the time. It’s not worth it to explain all the interactions and interconnectedness just to get some basic questions answered, so doctors will often just ask weird questions out of the blue.

    I’d argue wisdom is the defining feature of “human intelligence”, so if you say we’re pretty devoid of that… then we’re not so different from the other animals. It is only our lifespans and the ability to communicate complex ideas that really differentiates us.

    The hardware those thoughts operate on hasn’t changed nearly as much as the cultures it produced.







  • Yeah, a union would be great, although I feel like that would be something that would have to come quite a ways down the road of ethical devs coming together. After all, not even the FOSS community agrees on what is ethical to give away and to whom.

    Maybe a union is still the right term for the abstract ‘coming together’ I’m thinking of, since it’s hard to imagine how they could go from a generic collective to a body that could actually make effective demands, but perhaps it’s roughly the same process as getting a job-wide union off the ground.
