One thing I really like about technology is that in the long arc of time it isn't politicized. It just *is*.

In the emergent stage it's often politicized. But then eventually it just wins.

Electricity was a topic of political opinions until it wasn't. Same for cars. Same for Bitcoin. Same for everything that changes things in a big way.

Politics are powerful, but they are local and temporary. Technology is global and permanent. It either works and spreads, or it doesn't and fades.

Yep - disruptive technology emerges bottom up and upends the top-down paradigms - if perceived as valuable by plebs it spreads and becomes widely adopted and all the politics (and media) are largely screeching about a disruption to the status quo

Technology is about disrupting the status quo

The more disruptive, the more screeching from the incumbent class
