They’re infantilized. They’re made to be children, their brains depatterned into sludge by systems that give no options and respond as they want to, to manipulate the user rather than to do what the user wants. All of our technology does this. Modern ux design is fucking violence. You can hear corporations glory in how far this has come. It’s horrible.
It’s not that they need to RTFM. It’s that they need to be challenged and put in a position where their agency is exercised and their choices matter. They need technology to be meaningfully a part if their reality, rather than fantasy bullshit a tech billionaire just kind of decides/does in their direction. They need to heal. They need to reclaim their humanity and ability to apply logic to the world. And then maybe also to RTFM.
And until they do our technology will be violence.
You, as the it department, will be the managers of that violence, the theological police chief of the mystical real of domination and deception that is technology in this paradigm, rather than the infrastructural support mechanic you want to be. It’s why they don’t respect you; because your job isn’t real to them, its just the excuse to intrude upon them ever farther. Your stated philosophy makes you the enemy of all humanity, which is metal as fuck but not good.
