Almost anywhere on Reddit is centrist or left wing. Would rather we didn't discuss partisan politics in this sub. Not going to play my hand politics wise. This is a place to discuss the trajectory of tech and the way it might help improve our lives. Let's keep it that way!

It's impossible to divorce the impact of technology in our lives of politics. It's my main gripe with this sub, how most here seem to believe that technology will simply fix our lives by itself and we'll live in a utopia.

Thing is what's going to happen is going to happen before a dramatic political change. Current politics will literally be irrelevant to the technological change we are going to experience (extremely soon in the scheme of things) as a society. Discussion of said politics or ways to change the system don't mean anything. Humans will simply adapt and a new political spectrum will be required that will be totally divorced from current ideologies.

I will make the case that there are scarse other subs where this topic is possible, as most of those interested in the singularity do have a strong political opinion, but most of those that have strong political opinions barely know what the singularity is. Hence there is no other sub to discuss this.
