Technological Progress in Society

There’s an aspect of tech enthusiasm that leads to popular lament of wasted or misdirected skills. But I think the only real way to have an impact on overall industry trends, and thus the focus of collective productive energy, is to start businesses or movements and create cultures within the industry that provide new rallying points, examples and inspiration for other thinkers to riff off. It’s like one big organism where each tiny bit has its own agency, but as a whole the average tends to move toward the most compelling ideas of the time.
