Tell me what you think.

Okay.

Awesome.

Great.

Thank you.

Thank you for that question.

Let me take a run up to this.

Let me back up and take a run up to this question through, I think, some other ideas that you might find interesting.

One of the things that I've really learned from a bunch of philosophers of technology and historians of technology is a particular way of thinking about the world where...

technologies and the systems we engage in have an interest.

They have a point of view.

They have something they're doing.

So one of my favorite versions of this comes from a thinker, Dennis Woods, who thinks about maps.

And he says that, you know, maps aren't neutral.

Maps like have a point of view and you can see that point of view from what they show and what they don't show, right?

Like the maps we look at, a lot of the maps we look at are there to serve

drivers or people moving through, but they don't show things like where the soundscape is good or where the environment is good or where the people are friendly, right?

That's because they're built to serve people that are driving or they're built to serve people that are going to tax property owners.

They're not built for people trying to look for a good place to hang out, right?

Does that make sense?
