I'll also say that that technofascist mindset was a major reason I left Hacker News and disengaged from other BigTech-aligned communities as well.

I think that more than ever now, humans need to be failsafes for machines, whether those machines are technological or institutional (companies and governments are essentially machines, too).

If stigmatizing the concept of conscience/putting logic over emotion isn't outright evil, it's laying the red carpet for people who are.
