I’m frankly disappointed that the primary response of the tech industry to being scapegoated for a 400 year backlog of civilizatiional sins in which we’re all complicit has been... to meekly accept it by creating a religion around Waldenponding, hustleporn, and Atonement UX

Those sincere about the religion are mostly powerless while those who have power are mostly insincere and happy to buy off the sincere with compliance theater. This is a good thing as far as that dynamic goes. Given enough time, the sociopaths outmaneuver the clueless as always.

But the cost is that power selects for theater directors better at managing optics for the benefit of religious tech masses, and at getting cozy with regulators, than at unleashing promethean forces. So Tech slows to human pace; not obscene enough to create wealth. Tech dies.

I don't know what those last three terms mean, but wholeheartedly agree with the "400 years of civ debt" concept.
