Ford didn't create greed. Computers and the internet didn't create hucksters, neither did it create gullible people blown around by the wind without a compass or direction. Fools and their money have been parted for millennia.
I would somewhat disagree with you in that no effort has been made to keep people from being sick. That's a pretty bold statement. However, a large portion of the medical industry (which, yes is subject to greed) is not really about the curative and more about the maintenance. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. You can instruct people on healthy living which will extend their life and the quality thereof, but you cannot force them to do so. That is, and has been a huge issue. People line up at the hospital in large instances because they did not even attempt to lead a healthy lifestyle. They are an encumbrance in a way, because those who do live healthy lifestyles are penalized for those who don't.
Without being overly dramatic, I can confidently say, that if it weren't for medical advances, I would probably not be typing these words. I did everything I could to live a healthy lifestyle, but suffered a TBI in a fall from 2 stories up. I have a medical polymer implant in my right frontal lobe due to cranial damage. They scanned the hole in my skull, and 3D printed a replacement. Jack's a doughnut, Bob's your uncle. I'm 71 now. That's pretty damn awesome in my book.
It's high time for "bold statements". I've been in both left and right, and they're the same or atleast I know none of them supports me. This system fosters nothing more than inequality. Failure to regulate unhealthy but profitable materials and ingredients and addiction tactics away. That's the shit the poor - soon all of us - are able to buy. There's 20 chemicals in a simple product (they don't even call it food), sold with a plastic wrap that is gonna go around the world and come back inside our brains. That's why, just one example.
All this to say if there are advancements using computer technology on this, they're nowhere to be seen making a difference. So what's the point..
As I keep saying poverty is correlated with sickness. Poverty of mind too. The internet didn't solve this, far from it.
Oh and the number these data centers are going to do to the environment? Why do we need thousands of them? If we look at who's moving around and what kind of laws world governments are enacting.. it's not gonna be good in a thousand years..
I'm happy it worked out for you.
The internet didn't cause it either. Poverty and poverty of the mind has existed for millennia. It is sad to me that we do not help those in need more than we do. I feel we have a moral obligation to help our fellow man when he is in need, no matter who they are or how they came to be in need.
I truly believe that given enough time an technology, man can achieve pretty nigh anything. We've witnessed this since the dawn of time. It will take a global effort tho, because we are all inexorably tied together on this planet. No man, no country is an island. An example of this was when we banned the use of Chlorofluorocarbons because we were eating a hole in our ozone and ionosphere. That was a global effort, and it worked. We just need to move past our short shortsightedness and greed. That's always been the stumbling block.
I don't have all the answers my friend. I do have a lot of unanswered questions. It's just one old man's opinion who's seen a lot of shit and lived a full and rather colorful life. One opinion in a vast ocean of opinions.
