&gt; It&#x27;s human nature to want to control things<p>I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s justified. I don&#x27;t even know what it means. Am I ceding control to a computer when I use software? I love using software to take things out of my control. A mind boggling number of things relevant to my life are out of my control and I have no desire to control them. I&#x27;m not particularly special in this regard: Most of the things out of my control are voluntarily out of the control of millions of others.<p>Human nature seems to be the rhetorical black box that justifies every claim about human beings.
