I recently listened to Tucker Carlson say the following:
"We accept technological progress as progress when really it's enslavement.
It's destroying our souls and making us crazy and unhappy and dividing us from one another."
I have been thinking about it a lot and I feel very torn.
On the one hand it is clear looking at the world around us how technology is driving people away from eachother, polarising them and creating a lonlieness epidemic. Technology has given the state and corperations unprecedented power to control, monitor and manipulate us.
But at the same time I see technology as being the thing that frees humanity. As being the vehicle that could save humanity from the chains that have shackled people for far longer than any modern technology has existed.
