Jaron Lanier is an old and new tech systems explainer with a hippie heart and scientific mind.

Lanier's talk is long (so maybe better for listening to while doing other things), but worth thinking about.

I keep wondering how Andrew Yang fits into this world, and how he would lead this world to live with the non-exploitative kinds of tech that Lanier consistently keeps explaining.

To me, Lanier shows the more human side of our binary (and two-party) conflicts, and how we can translate human empathy from our politics to our capitalism. He shows how tech can never render us obsolete, because we create, but they steal the new, our data. This is not sustainable economics (In other videos he explains what can sustain tech an AI run systems).

Just like a Congressional house divided cannot stand.
