Seven days have come and gone, and I have made my way once again to the website of the stealth Robot Cult outfit, IEET, the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies to peruse its futurological fulminations.
Although only a minority of people in the world are white guys, and only a minority of people with whom tomorrow will be made and shared are white guys, and only a minority of people in the world impacted by technodevelopmental changes are white guys, and only a minority of people in the world who are well informed and have important things to say about matters of technoscience are white guys, nevertheless I can report that of the fifteen portraits of today's featured authors and speakers there you will find only three that is not a white guy (two direct us to the contributions, such as they are, of the same white lady).
Of course, quite apart from this ongoing non-representativeness of the Robot Cult (even in its most respectable faux-serious think-tank face) there are still endlessly many other weird and wrong things about these boys with their toys deserving of our appalled note, many of which I have written about here.
