I stopped reading when you said the goal of tech companies is to solve real world problems. The only goal of tech companies is to create products that will make them a profit. To believe anything else is delusional. That's kind of why our society is crumbling and the planet is dying.

Then I advise reading the rest. You don't make profit if you don't solve a problem people have.

Most of the "solutions" sold by companies are for artificial problems created by companies.

Don't worry, in a few decades that's where we'll all be, you included. Assuming we survive the corporate-induced famines, anyway.

I think you're either operating on a very deep level of irony or proving OP right.
