One of the things I find more contentious with that #TheInternetIsCrack #podcast is that there is conflation of the harms of technology with the harms of capitalism and the harms of corposcum-controlled technology.

The problem with that is that while the last two are fairly tightly intertwined, the same cannot be said of the first with the latter two. The relationship is a lot more complicated and the first absent the last two is a very different matter.

For the first episode, a lot of what is discussed can be put solidly under the last category, and very little is inherent to the first. But that distinction isn't mentioned or remarked upon.

A pithy way of summarizing the problems mentioned throughout the episode would be "letting the tools use *you* instead *you* being the user and god in the machine using tools is very unhealthy".
