“What will the apocalypse look like? The answer, to use a term generally understood but the specifics of which you cannot imagine, and which this document will attempt to describe, is ‘warfare’.” - William Bell, Fringe
Critiques of Twitter aren’t new, but this one is pretty level headed.
Which is basically a cop-out. “Invent magical new technology that solves the problem.” Check. But since the march of technology only goes forward, if you stumble into a dystopian cul-de-sac, there’s generally no way out but forward into the unknown.
