I haven't studied it formally and I'm being asked to support techno utopia also. So it feels pretty shaky to me.
Certainly my livelihood is based on the premise of it and my dreams which fuel my workplace motivation serve as foundation to you know what I do with 50% of my life, work on technology. So I am biased.
Some utopian dystopia discussions here on hacker news sort of boil down to the chaos theory level of assumptions, where you can see people exercising their own defensiveness when they snipe on a naysayer, sniping on their grammatical concerns, but not actually engaging in value-based discussions into the hacker news thread. It's like they're not human, they're only practicing it being devil's advocate technicians.
Useful idiots is kind of what I think. We need to have more values discussions, ethics too.
