Well, not Spidey per se., just some of the unintended consequences of his Uncle Ben’s mantra.
Seth’s latest blog post highlights that when we understand the responsibility that comes from having power, many of us simply abdicate out of fear.
In a democracy, we each have more power to speak up and to connect than we imagine. But most people don’t publish their best work or seek to organize people who care. Most of the time, it’s far easier to avert our eyes or blame the system or the tech or the dominant power structure.
And in an age where so many of us have access to so much power (thank you internet), how many of us are walking away from the power out of fear of the responsibility?
Maybe, if we start to get together and care together, we might change some things, or at least something.
