Human Code

Read Original

This article critiques the tech industry's instinct to solve deep-seated societal crises like systemic racism with technology. The author argues that problems rooted in human laws, culture, and minds cannot be coded away with blockchain, AI, or design. While technology can play a supporting role by amplifying marginalized voices and aiding organization, the primary driver of change must be human action and protest.
