@ChrisMayLA6 You see, I think it was known even then. Reading "The Californian Ideology" and "On Totalitarian Interactivity" recently for an episode, I was surprised at how well they captured the current age.
Both were published in 1995.
The trajectory we were on was recognized, even then. We just weren't listening.
(Still aren't, tbh.)
I think hope lies in the absence. With TikTok going down, will that wake people up?

In response to this post@drimplausible
yes, Richard Barbrook was very prescient; when I was writing on open source & IPRs he and I were occasionally on panels together and for a while met up every now & then for a chat - one of good guys!
@ChrisMayLA6 ah, very cool. If you're interested in listening to that review, it's available here:
