summary
Argues technology is never neutral and urges concrete practices: build a two‑meter provocatype EV charger with RFID status cards to reveal how algorithms encode privilege, create personas non grata to model bad actors, surface hidden data flows (Prius‑style energy monitors) and add friction for true consent. Offers four ethical tests (universalize it, ends vs means, maximize welfare, would I sign the front page), appoint a designated dissenter, run fairness forensics and prelaunch field trials.
