I don't understand this US mentality that some more tech will save us. It's some some of blind headlong rush to our demise, just to ignore the fundamental problems:
- too many humans
- too much pollution
- too much energy consumption
- too many humans
- too much pollution
- too much energy consumption
Honestly I partially blame advertising in general. We are all constantly reminded that we should want more, that we never have enough, and are offered solutions to problems that we didn't view as problems to begin with putting us in constant competition with one another. I think we will end up happier overall when we stop pursuing consumer growth and start pursuing human connections realizing that the things most of us want are not produced in a factory or presentaed on a screen.
