About this episode
On this episode of The SoapBox Lex, hosts Eric Green and Paul Ross dive into the dark side of engineering. We explore how design and technology can be used against people, from hostile architecture that discourages public use to planned obsolescence that keeps us buying more. We also tackle the right to repair movement and how companies pretend to care about the environment while prioritizing profit.
Is engineering always for the greater good? Let's discuss!
