You and the person you replied to are both correct. Yet people herded around and followed well known persons through history. Unfortunately people don't always look up to and choose to follow wise people. Yet the kind of hardwiring the person you replied to mentions is obsolete in my opinion. Never before was information as accesibile as today and ideas (no matter what kind) were exchanged as fast as these days. Critical thinking and the ability to filter through all the informational mess is probably the next evolutionary requirement if we wish to avoid becoming drones in a dystopia.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
