![Generally every person working on the “anticipatory governance,” “sociotechnical imaginaries,” or [add your own crappy neologism here] of an “emerging technology” isn’t doing deep academic research into an existing technological problem. It’s an enormous opportunity cost. It is outrageous that I can point to gobs of people in my field working on synthetic biology, “AI,” self-driving cars, and blockchain but not a single person researching septic tanks, mobile homes, trailer parks, or even housing more generally, even though these latter topics are full of technological issues and true human suffering that IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q3naea4migvon6zudymgajyc/bafkreicly6he6hlzcwobtmwepim5ti5iiowbt4uam6ow2xezx6rb2hbh24)
