@tootbrute Yes, I totally agree. We should be teaching ethics around the use of all tech, starting with the questions "Should we even do this?" & "What are the larger implications that this technology will have on society, culture, etc?"

Not my field question: if I wanted to read about political critiques/social implications of military contractors like Lockheed Martin, what academic books, scholars, or journals should I be reading?
