It\u2019s about the fact that we keep trusting these people. And by \u201cthese people\u201d I mean the people who look, talk, and behave like Elon Musk. Perhaps it\u2019s time to bust the myth of the Silicon Valley-style boy genius once and for all, and instead look to egalitarian principles to ensure the health and safety of our digital future.</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s just get this one out of the way: there has only ever been and can ever be one Steve Jobs. Or Bill Gates. Or [fill in the blank magnate from the early days of tech]. Unfortunately, the myth of the (usually white-presenting, usually male) college dropout who has a Big Idea and a Stalwart Passion to \u201cChange the World\u201d and a Cunning Plan to Reinvent Everything\u2026has come back to bite us in the ass. <strong>Big time.</strong></p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s really quite astonishing how many falls from grace there have been in the tech sector over the past decade. Honestly one might say it\u2019s a who\u2019s who of former media darlings heralded as innovators bringing us the \u201cnext big thing\u201d. And even now, perhaps I might begrudgingly agree with the notion that we needed at least some of this raw, albeit problematic energy at the dawn of the digital age, just like in ages past. <em>Yes, Thomas Edison too might have been a real jerk, but hey, we got electric power, the lightbulb, and movies!</em></p>\n\n<p>But here\u2019s the thing. The tech industry has matured. It <em>must</em> mature. <strong>Digital devices are a crucial part of our everyday lives.</strong> Internet communications define many of our waking moments. We pay for things with our smartwatches, and talk to people on video calls (!!) with our smartphones. We unlock our e-cars/bikes/scooters with Bluetooth to head off to work or a store or church, and we plug them in at night.</p>\n\n<p>And with this maturity <em>has to come</em> broader awareness that Big Tech can\u2019t simply act like 21st century echoes of the robber barons. Either the tech sector must demonstrate its ability to police itself and show good corporate governance and a willingness to let bottom-up creativity and entrepreneurship flourish in the marketplace of ideas, or <strong>we must call for increased regulatory scrutiny on all fronts</strong>. Scrutiny into how social media platforms try to consolidate all online collaboration and information flow around themselves, shutting out competing tools and protocols. Scrutiny into how app stores attempt to monopolize all digital commerce and control access to goods and payments. Scrutiny into how tech companies operating in traditional sectors like transportation try to leach off of generous government funding one day, only to behave the next day like spoiled brats wanting their whole cake while eating it too.</p>\n\n<p>And for the love of all that is holy, we <em>must</em> rid ourselves of this absurd myth that a single person just shows up one day with a skip in their step and a spark of genius in their brain to change everything overnight. <strong>Never again should we fall for an Elizabeth Holmes.</strong> Never again should we fall for an <strong>Adam Neumann</strong>. Never again should we fall for a <strong>Sam Bankman-Fried</strong>. Never again should we fall for a <strong>Mark Zuckerberg</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>And then, <strong>there\u2019s Elon</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>Remember all the people who\u2014prior to the official takeover of Twitter\u2014were telling us that Elon Musk would moderate his behavior and behave more like a grown up because too much money and prestige were at stake? (Hmm, much like a certain former U.S. President once he held office? Look how that turned out!)</p>\n\n<p>Remember all the people who said that because Elon (seemingly) had been unilaterally successful in bringing us fancy new space rockets and fancy new electric cars, he could now bring welcome insight and innovation into a rapidly-degenerating and fractious social media landscape?</p>\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the pertinent question: <strong>why do we keep believing this myth?</strong> As we\u2019ve seen over recent years and especially recent months, it\u2019s being proven <strong>decisively, tragically wrong</strong>\u2026over and over and over again.</p>\n\n<p>At this point, it\u2019s not which once-media-darling, VC-fueled tech titan will fall next, <strong>it\u2019s which one won\u2019t</strong>. What\u2019s perhaps even more disturbing is that some of scrappy nerds on the edges of Big Tech <em>who themselves have often taken pot shots at the mainstream industry</em> have gone off the deep end as well. (Just look at the utter tripe being promoted on David Heinemeier Hansson\u2019s blog these days\u2026)</p>\n\n<p>Let\u2019s face it. Clearly the tech industry, taken as a whole, has completely and undeniably failed to rein in its worst impulses. <strong>Something is rotten in the state of free enterprise</strong>, and one would be forgiven for expanding this out to \u201clate-stage capitalism\u201d in general\u2014but that\u2019s beyond my pay grade. I\u2019m a web developer, not an economist, dammit!</p>\n\n<h3>Are we the baddies? (Don\u2019t answer that!)</h3>\n\n<p><strong>So what\u2019s to be done about it?</strong> How do we <em>inoculate</em> ourselves from the scourge of Zuckerbergism, Muskism, Kalanickism, and all the rest? How do we disentangle ourselves from the dystopian nightmare that is Silicon Valley? How do we ensure the open web actually remains the open web and won\u2019t just further descend into miserable corporate-tainted bullshit run in large part by a small number of mediocre white men?</p>\n\n<p>We need to pound the table, and pound hard, to (<strong>a</strong>) sound the alarm that enough is fucking enough\u2014<em>we\u2019re mad as hell and we aren\u2019t going to take this anymore</em>\u2014and (<strong>b</strong>) reinforce our crystal-clear, historically-supported <em>obligation</em> to prioritize <strong>open standards &amp; protocols</strong> over vendor lock-in and <strong>open platforms &amp; technologies</strong> over closed consolidated silos fueled by greed and paranoia.</p>\n\n<p>We\u2019re seeing this whole scenario play out yet again in real-time with the waitlisted beta launch of Post. <a href=\"https://post.news/article/2I8KY7PphGpEorYcxGJsSdGuWlC\">This is a startup company being funded in large part by A16Z</a>.

Alternated run/walk sessions for ~10min then jogged back to the track start area. Got my bib, pinned it on, used the bathroom, and kept warming up with back/forth strides next to the track. Saw niece & nephew2 start in wave 1, kept warming up. Decided to start with my dad in wave 3.\n\nHad to use the bathroom one more time, and by the time I got out, wave 3 was already off. Got stuck waiting in wave 4 (walkers & strollers). Made my way to the start then ran without pacing myself to catch my dad. Found him and decided that I\u2019d rather stay with him and keep him company. Ran/jogged/walked the rest of the race, eventually returning to the high school track.

First #<span class=\"p-category\">turkeyTrot</span> in a while that I ran/jogged/walked. #<span class=\"p-category\">turkeyTrot2022</span> <br /><br />Arrived early like last year for a warm-up. Alternated run/walk sessions for ~10min then jogged back to the track start area. Got my bib, pinned it on, used the bathroom, and kept warming up with back/forth strides next to the track. Saw niece &amp; nephew2 start in wave 1, kept warming up. Decided to start with my dad in wave 3.<br /><br />Had to use the bathroom one more time, and by the time I got out, wave 3 was already off. Got stuck waiting in wave 4 (walkers &amp; strollers). Made my way to the start then ran without pacing myself to catch my dad. Found him and decided that I\u2019d rather stay with him and keep him company. Ran/jogged/walked the rest of the race, eventually returning to the high school track. We ran the back straight through the finish arch.<br /><br />See also: <a href=\"https://www.spartanturkeytrot.com/\">https://www.spartanturkeytrot.com/</a><br /><br />Previously:<br />* <a href=\"https://tantek.com/2021/329/t1/spartan-turkey-trot\">https://tantek.com/2021/329/t1/spartan-turkey-trot</a>"
