It’s what happens when we have libertarianism without socialism. One without the other is bad news.
Most potential technology will of course be acontextual and lacking any kind of critique of capitalism. I witness people I know make all kind of “wise” decisions based on career expectations or ambition and definitions of “success,” and they’re actually really miserable yet can’t seem to recognise why. I’m unconvinced AI developed by capitalist companies would provide healthier perspectives. Heck, even humans fall short in such roles as counselling, when they lack class consciousness or a critique of neoliberalism. AI probably doesn’t stand much more chance.
Labour purged leftists, then Starmer got in with fewer votes than Corbyn. With few options left, the general population - despite having good opinions - will remain unrecognised by the state, and Farage will represent the people no more than Starmer does. It is all quite sad.
