Judge, Hater, Penitent, Spy – The Story of Judge Tomasz Szmydt
16 May 2024
Technological progress is changing the world, but it cannot change one eternal law: those, who do not adapt go extinct. Charioteers were replaced by taxi drivers and taxi drivers are being replaced by ridesharers. Thus, it is only a question of time until ridesharers are replaced by autonomous cars.
Would anyone be very sad over this? Perhaps only the ridesharers and their family members. Whatever the case may be, our society’s structure will change little if ridesharing ceases to exist.
But is it worth worrying about our society and the quality of liberal democracy if the news media and journalists would vanish? This should have already been a discussion point because the process has been gaining momentum for some time; we are rapidly nearing the red line, which when overstepped, will leave nothing left to save.
