introduction:
last night, speaking with a member of family, who professes a faith that includes a deity called god and its counter-element being the devil, i realised that society is full of bad people. not weak people: deeply bad people.
21st century third-decade societies — whether british, irish … wherever … oh yes, there are good people … but power in a tech-riven digital world, a world where tech of all kinds of levels rules, is insidiously criminalising every effect we once were reasonably able to assert was random. there are plenty of good people it’s true; but only the bad exert the power that makes the world run and administers what actually happens.
an anecdote from yesterday:
a young woman said to me yesterday evening: “it’s just stuff.” she was either facile & naive or dangerous. but probably dangerous in any case, because in the face of such embedded criminality, she chose to claim it was random.
re dark figure, law enforcement and security globally:
and so we come to this conclusion: law enforcement and security across the world find it much easier to deliver on their kpi structures by chasing and incarcerating those who don’t know what they’re doing than the covert digital-based criminals at all levels of tech who do know what they’re up to — and more importantly, how.
why i will no longer look to work with security-related citizens:
i’ve already signalled on these pages and others that i will no longer work on projects related to these kinds of professions: let me now explain why.
they depend on modern tech; on modern tech partners to explain what’s possible and what’s not. in a system where legitimately we have always separated out judge and jury, when it comes to procurement of tech we connect judge and jury both so they’re in the same bag as the criminals themselves.
tech is corrupt from top to bottom. it shouldn’t be trusted with advising what’s possible in respect of innovation.
but hey … who am i to say?
my next steps:
i’m no longer going to bang my head till it bleeds. i’m going to repurpose ALL my #secrecypositive ideas — this time with zero elements of #totalsurveillance compliance — in order to begin to implement tools to solve the #complexproblems the #leanjourney toolkit has chosen to filter out all these years:
because modern tech only primarily aims its crosshairs at ONE problem: how to ensure the customer pays. everything else is how to cherry-pick out of solutioning-process what’s not relevant to a bottom-line.
great for the individual company’s balance-sheet; but sincerely catastrophic for a wider society.
as climate change — just one example — now shows.
complexify.me – done simply well:
i’m now going to concentrate all my forces on creating a tech ecosystem and set of tools which tech doesn’t care to invent; has chosen, in fact, just about criminally not to all these years.
an ecosystem and tools where #neurodiversity FINALLY delivers as a skillset, not a touchy-feely inclusion impulse.
and to the extent that #diversity becomes the new norm; and so normality returns to being just one more arrow in our society- and species-saving quivers …
