Society is like poorly written software with lots of patches, new features are added (social media) and then stuff randomly breaks. A fix is eventually deployed, sometimes the fix works; sometimes the fix causes more bugs.

And so we move forward, like Gordon Freeman in unforeseen consequences.

Nobody said nothing as social media and the attention economy took over the world.

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” — Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park
