    I think this is an acceptable interpretation; but to me inclusion of the phrase "and refuses to adopt it" means they cannot comprehend a future where there AREN'T Tesla FSD cars everywhere, and "the public's" obstinate refusal to get on board with this vision of the future necessitates additional harm caused to realize that vision.

      Still absolutely unhinged, yeah. I just think it's important to understand someone's beliefs if one is to argue against them.

      There is a teleological rhetoric that technocrats have very effectively utilized where the future is mostly known and it's just a matter of getting there. It lets them tacitly assume that these inventions being used in this way are what progress is. It's what happens when you remove both politics and epistemology from your understanding of technology.

        Aha, I think our interpretations were not in conflict after all and we are making the same (if not very similar) points, but that was a much better way of putting it.
