    #ShareYourRejection is a nice tag but I lost count of the number of times I was told that studying how digital technology interacts with social/political spheres was a dead-end and I’d never make it as an academic or a writer. Can’t quickly pick a single example! 😬

        Hey, I remember back in the early 90s telling my adviser there was a CFP for an international conference on the World Wide Web (the 1st of a still-going annual series) and I wanted to submit to it; and he said "that seems kinds of obscure- I don't think you should go".

        Monetary systems interfere with both as we never build roads with abrasive materials instead we can always find political "solutions" such as putting a sign: "slippery when wet". We never want to eliminate a problem if there is a slight opportunity for a monetary benefit.

        We have enough resources to eliminate majority of our problems in a sustainable way. But we have not monetary and political means to do that. I assume people like you are simply stuck in between, just like trying to find "legit" means for political issues.

        That's incredible. People further away from tech often react that way, the commenters to MIT Prof Turkle's NYT OpEd last week -- where she said that AI and robots don't have empathy and emotions -- insisted she was wrong.
