Without a wider “ideological” world-view, you have no place to step away from your past mistakes. Everyone needs to look at the world from differing perspectives. The current neoliberal dogma in all its different fashionable clothes is just that, a failed dogma that we clearly need to step away from.
The world can be different, I have lived most of my life in a different world to the one that is swallowing everything around me.
I use the word “blinded” to describe meany of the people I meet in tech and grassroots movements. They are blinded for differing surface reasons, on the hippy side it is conspiracy dressed as empty spiritualism. On the liberal progressive side it is internalized neoliberalism feeding fear, cowardice and greed. Best not to mention the process geeks…
There are paths to step away from this mess, #openweb #4opens is one that would be empowering for both non geeks and the more technically minded.
