Many of us have ways to make the world right, but so long as our actions can be predicted, it doesn't seem easy to pursue them, and pursuing them may have consequences.
I don't think prediction is the problem but numbers. If enough people want to burn down amazon and google, the 'prediction' won't stop them.
Does anyone have advice on what software developers can do during this time, to help the situation?
how can computer programers fix a political problem?
I stand by blockchain technologies that prevent the isolation of communities and provide immutable public records. Cryptography can make votes unalterable, dialogue unhidable. Math could show clear statistics of what influences behavior and information flow, and for whom. But computer programers share with you the malady that problems are for 'fixing'.
Personally, I have no idea how to communicate with people who refuse to harm anyone, to work on solutions with them.
