I don't think @eseman was blindly saying its a good idea or would solve the world's problems.
Making the post pointless at best.
Social problems are, by definition, people problems. Solutions have to start with people and their needs and behaviours. How technology might help shouldn't be the starting point. Just dropping "tech" into a political conversation is silly hand waving.
Also, dismissing a futurist theory because of teething problems with contemporary tech is not something that turns out to be the right approach usually.
The use of algorithms to distance people from the consequences of their actions is a significant problem right now. Which makes thoughtless invocation of tech for social problems truly deserving of a really big fucking kicking.Just quoting for posterity.
