But they are important to them. And social media bubbles maybe makes people think, the whole world shares the priorities of their specific bubble - and act enraged, when they learn that is not the case.

I mean, we tech nerds can maybe relate with our struggle of privacy, open source etc.?



I can't relate. Sure these are problems, but definitely not the most important problems in the World.


I meant relate to the concept of: what is important to your bubble might not matter to the rest of the world.

Most people don't care about surveillance, nor have they heard of open source. But being a tech nerd, I absolutely do think they are very importang for the whole world to embrace.

But on a philosophical level I can see that other people have other priorities. Or a different angle how to solve things.

Many would say climate change is the most important problem, to which I would say, open source (hardware) has the best chance of solving this crisis. Making the tech broadly avaiable. (And anti surveillance so we do not end up in totalitarian states while trying to solve the other problems)

But to a conservative he sees no base of anything, if the foundations of (his) morals are destroyed.
