@shlee It may not be sufficient but it certainly is necessary. Slavery could never have been abolished without the steam engine.

@publius There is a lot of ink spilt on this... but that saying means... "uber is not a revolutionary force that allows people to become their own bosses"It's the same as people misunderstanding the word luddite... breaking tech that hurts workers rights is good. luddites are not anti-tech, they're anti-exploitive-tech etc etc

@nev @shlee You mean by "this person" me?HELL YES I am an advocate for the peaceful uses of atomic energy. Not merely because the control of intra-nuclear energy by means of the fission chain reaction is one of the foremost achievements of the human intellect, but because the survival of humanity in a flourishing ecosystem on Earth is dependent on the availability of vast quantities of cheap energy, which that control makes possible.#AtomicPowerToThePeople
