'There is a difference between compensatory good - like Mark Zuckerberg one day donating 99% of his shares to charity - and intrinsic good, where the actual business the company is involved in is a positive force.'

― Douglas Rushkoff

Rushkoff: Life Inc.: How the World Became a Corporation and How to Take It Back

[antibothis]

The ultimate goal of personal transcendence was to leave the sinful, temporary body behind and float as a free, perfected consciousness. All that prior consumption was just fuel for the rocket, and the regrettable destruction something to leave behind with the rest of physical reality.

This wasn’t a break from consumer capitalism, but the fulfillment of its ultimate purpose. And, by the 1970s, many other sectors and industries seemed to be coalescing around the same set of potentials. Computer scientists were pondering artificial intelligence; personal transformation gurus were helping people walk over burning coals; specially phased audio tapes helped people journey out of body. Mind over matter became the mantra. People sought to escape biological limits before middle age, not to mention death.

A good talk for people working in tech, to step back and look at what we are building, from a wider perspective – to look more closely at how it is (and could be) used, and relook the way we are assessing whether we are building something “good”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Douglas Rushkoff talks about the current state of data and tech – how it’s dehumanising us. He also shares his hopes for the digital future.

Happy July 4th 🇺🇸 I love this quote from @douglasrushkoff I don’t care what you believe. Just be classy about it. Be kind. Be thoughtful. Listen. Don’t respond in anger. Lead with compassion. We’re all human and fallible. I offer grace and ask that it be reciprocated. Let’s make this country, this world, a better place. Let’s start by being better people. I love you ❤️ (at Fourth of July) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ64o-QA48P/?utm_medium=tumblr
