our technology industry has failed to provide a coherent argument for its own existence on the national stage. if this is not solved, 2028 will become a referendum on caging, killing, and looting the technology industry over the water and power libels. the popular image of the ai boom is not uncertain. recent polling suggests the average american understands ai is a thing that wastes water, skyrockets power costs, and scams their grandparents in exchange for exposing children to deviant sexual content, sports gambling, and all other manner of sin. if the best answer to why we should not imprison technology executives, burn down data centers, and kill the american technology sector is "so we can build better chatbots for your sports betting," voters will vote to do so. in a zero-sum worlds, voters do not think long term; they envy, and then they loot. we do not loot the sewage system or the power grid because we understand they are the bulwarks against chaos. we accept their costs because they hold back chaos. does the median voter believe the same to be true about technology? technology is the only mechanism we have for escaping the malthusian trap. but because we have been too cowardly to articulate this, because we have substituted "rationalism" and "agi" for a coherent theology of progress, the state sees the industry as only a parasite to be consumed. if we cannot articulate why innovation is a moral imperative, we can expect the entire technology industry to end up like Boston. first taxed, then looted, then exhausted. and we'll be stuck wondering where it all went.
