I've already used it as an example when talking to some people about our technology choices.

Sometimes - to be able to live in the societies we do, we have to accept that there's very little choice. But if you live in full awareness that every choice you make to participate in it, there is a cost and effect that someone else has to experience.

One is example is Social Media moderators - for us to not see the worst of humanity, they have to experience it for us and make a decision that literally can manipulate people's opinions and preferences
