    Addiction to money is causing 95% of our problems, and I don’t just mean Zuckerberg and the other billionaires. Anyone who throws a coworker under the bus to avoid taking blame, pressures a subordinate to work an extra hour to meet a deadline, or otherwise prioritizes “work” over the mental health of those around them contributes to this dumpster fire of a society we’ve built.

    We all point the finger at the top, but I think the problem is much more widespread than that.

    In this case: why tf aren’t the workers refusing to build Zuck’s AI? Addiction to money.

      I am not sure if u have read unabomber’s manifesto “Industrial society and it’s future” but he basically calls this money addiction and such just fulfilment for power process, I can’t really type all of the things he says here but I would recommend reading his paper, also take in consideration that it’s just one of the options and there are different kinds of addictions with different reasons but I think you are talking about specifically one Unabomber is explaining, just my guess tho
