We Have Another "No Feces Shurlock" Moment Here

Maybe tech will eventually tumble to this glaring absurdity concerning our terrible priorities. Gods know that not much of the rest of our economy spends much time thinking about it. And of course, by "it" I am referring to the glaring absence of thought that goes into how much creative effort the current economic operating system wastes on pure BS.

What is far worse in this, however, is the simple fact that this occurs even as the planet, and vast swaths of human need, cries out for help. Cries out for the kind of help that only the most creative, and smart, among us can possibly hope to provide succor for. And all the while the rest of us plod on not wanting to be distracted from our distractions of choice.
