Man used to formulate relationships w people in the world of enterprise to become economically valuable, now LinkedIn abstracts away this process. Man who over-relies on algorithm becomes nothing, a shell clicking a button, waiting for a dispense of reward, this is a fools errand because algorithm cannot create something from nothing, it can only automate that which exists in the physical realm. If one takes building narrative, strengthening character, and exerting agency as fundamental goods in the world, then that which takes away this process, software, is clearly satanic. However process of creating software is productive endeavor. Should computer scientist be responsible for this disempowering outcome amongst his users? Are there types of software which can be empowering? Do these need to be encoded into physical systems in order to become embodied and righteous?
