One of the key messages I carry is that we don't have to accept any of this. Sometimes I see opposition in the form of "Get in loser, you'll be left behind" and other times it's in the form of "It's all over the place, what do you mean you think you can opt out?"

To the first, I say: Fine, I don't want to go where that bandwagon is headed. "Left behind" is an interesting phrase, it indexes a notion of a race towards a desirable/shining "future" that only some can access, and which we should all hope to participate in. But the TESCREAList/tech bro future is not one I want any part in and in fact one that I actively resist --- and I hope others will too. >>
