But I saw this:

Time to put humans before business.

Time to put humans before oxygen, too? Silly stuff.

Humans existed before business. Not at the tech level we have today. Humans might exist after businesses go extinct, that is the dream of singularity and post-scarcity economies.

But with the tech we have today, yep this is not going to fly.

I don't understand why it's silly. I don't understand why you're comparing business to oxygen. Lest you fall prey to the fundamental attribution error, I don't agree with the article, and I think a lot of it is applause lights. The core sentiment of humanity first isn't one I subscribe to either (I'm an individualist), but the philosophy behind the article is one I can under and appreciate. It's one I can pass an ideological Turing test for. You seem to be caricaturing the position in the article, and that isn't very epistemically healthy.
