Social entrepreneurship.

The post seems to view the social application of technology as the "solution." Apparently, they really don't get it. "It" is not just about making life "better" but rather making life meaningful. The issue is overcoming alienation by providing integration.

Capitalism is based on alienation. Society ism fracture because individuals are fractured rather than being integrated personally and socially.

So the solution involves addressing the paradoxes of liberalism. Many of these paradoxes arise from economic liberalism in a neoliberal global regime, since neoliberalism is a political theory holding that economic liberalism is prior to social and political liberalism because "trickle down" and TINA (there is no alternative).

Social entrepreneurship is contributory to making life "better" from the standpoint of economics but it doesn't address the psychological and sociological issues that underly and cannot be covered by a veneer of rising living standards that are unevenly distributed by "trickle down."
