Imagine a world where talented engineers would put their minds to work for solving big problems instead of … I’m not sure wtf this is.

It would have to be a society that isn’t driven by profit. A society where everyone has the basics guaranteed to them, like housing, food, water, utilities, and transportation. A society where working is optional instead of one where you have to “earn a living”.
Just the phrase “earn a living” alone means to me that in capitalism, nobody deserves to live unless they work.

This just goes to show how “engineering ethics” course requirements are extremely underrated (and how engineering ethics courses themselves don’t go far enough).

Increasing profit margins…which is the thing our society puts above all else.

Is it really “society” doing this? Or just the deliciously looking, juicy, meaty, 1%?

The 1% - but unfortunately this includes our leaders and lawmakers; so that puts power in the hands of those who value money above all else. And that power is used to extract more money and power from everyone else. Advertising always reinforces their message of course.

The 1% is society.
When was the last time you, or anyone you know, had an actual voice in how things are run?

But that’s the opposite of “society”…
