  What is humane tech & why do we desperately need it?

  Inhumane tech exploits our lizard brain. While this primitive part of us is essential for survival, it also behaves automatically, irrationally, and in ways beyond our control. Humane tech acknowledges that we’re rubbish at controlling our reptilian desires and will give into...
