I'll tack a little something onto this. Although a hackneyed phrase, "Man's inhumanity to man" accurately reflects not only the current state of tech but the state of general public discourse around the world.
This isn't even a new thing in history, either. Patterns of exploitation, injustice and generally inhuman treatment of others can be seen throughout history.
But it's also not a thing that we have to feel resigned to. We can do better, and beyond the headlines, we are doing better.
