Technical people live in the consensual world, not in some special sanitised world where only bits and bytes are real. Because technical people live in the same world everyone else lives in, we must not pretend that social questions are someone else's problem. The reason we must not pretend is that psychopaths (those who have no conscience, and exploit other living creatures without hesitation or remorse) would use us for their purposes. And, like poleznye duraki / nützliche Idioten, we would obey them willingly.
