Designers are as subject to emergent dynamics as users. But let's also talk about how any particular notion of "humanistic" values is highly specific and driven by a typically bad-faith assumed consensus. I am NOT likely to agree with you about what "humanistic values" are.
I think the point that both you and the harsher critics are missing is that YOU have the opportunity to try and grok where the graph mind is headed and looking for ways to generatively participate. The indifference has 2 sides to it. If you genuinely see nothing there, walk away.

Why would you assume that where the graph mind is headed is necessarily of no interest to you? If a starship is about to launch for Alpha Centauri and you're given a seat by default, yes you can get off. But perhaps you should consider that going to Alpha Centauri might be fun.

A very good point. maybe it's a consequence of truly naive 38-year old ennui (40 < 40). I pretty much know where my individual/real life is going and it's nowhere special. I'm going to try to have fun on the way…

I guess from your recent threads here I got the impression that you doubted whether an individual *could* meaningfully grok anything about what the graph mind is up to. So, maybe the fact that we try anyways ends up as votes that add up?
