Raw LLM Responses

And yet society is too determined to devote it's existence to licking the ass of corporate profit to put a stop to the development of this technology - why can't society deal with the need to hold on to our better values of freedom and compassion, and be more selective with technology? Not everything that humans can do, should be done. What subtle neurological damage does screen time do? Do we have to tolerate corporations externalizing the cost and damage created by the environmental damage that they do? Do we have to tolerate the damage done to people's' lives - particularly to children's' lives - by malicious older women using electronic weaponry through the U.S. National Security Agency? Do we have to wait until the Sword of Damocles of nuclear weapons incinerates us all without ever actually dismantling that danger? So much brilliant science and technology, so little common sense. We don't need to let go of all the benefits of technology, just put a stop to the depraved criminality of the child-sex-trafficking witch cult/Organization/System, use better common sense and moderation on the use of technology and it's products, find technological workarounds that, for example, make modern communication possible without allowing mind-manipulation technology, hold corporations more accountable for the environmental damage that they do without dissolving that accountability into abstract, dubious muddles like "credit systems", or just shipping off all the trash to the poorest nations. Most parents, having asked their child to clean his or her room, wouldn't put up with the kid having just shoved a big pile of garbage under a carpet - why can't governments, corporations, militaries, intelligence communities be held to a standard of integrity that a parent would expect of a 13-year-old? Back in the 1980s, most states in the U.S. had "bottle bills" - you got 5 cents or so for returning a bottle for recycling. Maine still has such a system. Most states abandoned this sort of law on various excuses of the burden on wildly profitable corporations. Soda companies still make plenty of money, despite endless social yammering about the effect of sugar water on people's health - why couldn't such companies bear any part of the burden of recycling? Why are we so pathetically incompetent at really basic environmental protection? Or even protecting our own minds, our own brains, our own freedom?
