  "description": "More Everything Forever is an essential read for the modern, tech-empowered dystopia we find ourselves in. Adam Becker methodically examines and destroys the pseudo-religious nonsense of modern tech founders. Mars is a hellhole coated in poison dust that will kill anyone that lands there. Trillions of people living in capsules above the earth is a fantasy. LLMs are synthetic text extruding machines that are as much a through line to AGI as my toaster is to the second coming of Christ. Instead, as a society, we find ourselves in the grip of billionaires suffering from engineer’s disease : A bias of technical professionals who think that their expertise allows them to solve problems in unrelated fields. You can’t debug society and you can’t rebuild it. You can construction participate in it, but tech moguls will not concede that their success took place due to the benefits provided by society. They’re too brilliant, right? (No, they aren’t.) They wall themselves off, talk only to their peers, build their own egos, claim their harebrained schemes are inevitable and lash out when challenged. They’re children, staring down a midlife crisis and don’t know how to handle it. They’re facing their own mortality and none of what they’re pursuing will succeed or improve the lives of anyone else. Regulate tech, regulate business and tax billionaires until they are not that.",
