i feel saddened that people focus entirely on hindsight but take the current situation as inevitable result of the past, and regard it as unchangeable.
no, this does not have to be treated like any other capitalist asset. if there’s a shred of belief that the privacy and dignity of us humans matters to us now in 2025, just get together and disown 23andme, nuke the data, and turn the page.
unfortunately we have to stick harder to the principle of capitalism than any crusader in the middle ages had to stick to the Bible… helpless powerful species
