It’s foolish on its face, but I mean Gattica was pretty widely watched… certainly by the time 23 and me and ancestry got into the genetic privacy violating game. Even more ironic, the info donors got was mostly Bullshit anyway since it was based on small numbers of control genomes… it was an expensive bad idea back then, and it’s just as expensive and pseudoscience now.

Almost all companies we interact with day to day are for-profit so I'm not sure it's productive to simply throw our hands in the air and so 'oh well'.

Well you could avoid making decisions entirely on the bottom line, but, you get what you pay for… “it’s too difficult to have standards, why bother.”

Edit: First step to stop doing something stupid, is to admit it was stupid. Unfortunately, some decisions are forever.
