@Daojoan@mastodon.social Also, no one actually knows how to build the right thing, but the race you have described means that they can't even expend any resources on research toward finding the right thing. It's the same common but faulty syllogism routinely employed by politicians: We have to do something. X is something. Therefore we have to do X (where X is known to be the wrong thing, but we try to pretend that it is not)
