(not sure if this should be nsfw, it does link to a sneer though, so
I’m leaving it off) Hugo award winning podcast Our Opinions Are Correct
talks to Rose Eveleth, who has some very tidy opinions about the
singularity and its wannabe bringers-about.
Fave bit from the transcript:
>Rose: \[...\]And all of these inefficient systems that they identify, like their own bodies, or like the Earth where you can’t really wrangle it to do what you want—
>
>Annalee: Or, like women.

>Rose: Or like women, or people who don’t agree with them, whoever it is. You know? That is, I think it’s an appealing way to be like, oh, well, in this world we don’t have to deal with that and I don’t have any connection to that so it’s not meaningful to me. And there’s this logical leap they make between, “I don’t have a connection to that” to “It’s not important.” Which is, I think, is worth interrogating. Because it’s not true.
