Strictly speaking, management at Big Tech are all normies and they make the decisions.
I think the point is solid: non-tech-people sell capabilities to other non-tech-people to make money, and this forms a feedback loop and drives direction. A non-big-tech world is wildly different because it's more like tech people building an environment for doing things with other tech people.
Management of big tech are excessively rich assholes. The rich, by the very definition, do not fall into the category of "normal people"
Strictly speaking, that's nonsense. Is everyone that's not you a normie? Or is normie a 'normal person', which then absolutely does not include rich managers of big tech companies?
Really strange point to make, man.
