Comment on 'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

Totally agreed. It’s not okay to normalize making death machines. I’m involved in a project to tries to reach STEM students to explain that working in defense is actually morally wrong, and it’s very frustrating to see Rober basically run an ad for a defense company, complete with “bad guys” and normalizing a militarized border. I’ve already written about working in “defense” in general, but we’ll be responding directly to his video, not that we have anywhere near the reach that he has.
