Notes

  • this isn’t another cry wolf, this time our tech can perceive and think
  • “Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God’s gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences.” — Freeman Dyson
  • has good charts showing the differences between upper and lower middle class
