Great stuff, as usual!

It's important in this space to be specific about the actual problem. I love how you differentiate between tech and tech companies, for example. Indeed, I would argue that tech "eats the world" so voraciously that it even eats tech companies.

A lot of the frustrations or concerns folks have about the modern world seem to me to be ill-defined. A lot of complaints about capitalism, for example, seem more about consumerism--one natural result of capitalism but not a necessary one. When people express concern about Facebook, are they worried about that specific company, social media companies, big tech, or big business?

Thanks! A lot of the concerns around Facebook were couched in their incredible and seemingly unbeatable monopoly which could only be tamed through intesive regulation. Though then reality intervened and showed it just ain't so.
