If the setting isn't necessarily what you want the future to be, why are you treating it so personally that I contemplated the ethics and civil rights implications of the models of cognition that the setting uses as its base? Wouldn't such thoughts exist in-setting? Wouldn't it be fair for us, as people who are not necessarily talking about the future we want to see, to talk about the downsides and questionable aspects of that setting? It's not personal if it's not personal. I even said I don't want to do a self-insert outside of this thread.
