The tension here is real, even if the rhetoric runs a little hot. People are waking up to how much of modern life runs on systems we don’t understand but are expected to trust anyway.

The challenge is learning to demand oversight without becoming as paranoid or dehumanizing as the systems we’re criticizing.

That challenge is NOT an easy or simple one. Totally accurately put.
