Look where technology has brought us. Ted was right.
Steam engines, electricity, and similar technologies have destroyed human society, and ruined our world. We should, in fact, still be using "good old fashioned" sailboats, horses, and doing things for ourselves.
It's the ease of living that first created the parasites, then allowed them to take over our societies.
Oops, shed my last vehicle over 15 years ago. But going to live with the Amish would be as selfish as continuing to actively support this corruption. I'm obviously not holding myself up as a person unimpacted by the existence of technology on this planet.
How do you propose to control technology, when its very existence changes us into what we are today? What kind of control are you going to exercise to get rid of 'electronic money', cell phones, AI, nuclear power plants, electrical grids, and the extra 5 billion people technology has enabled?
We are destroying our biome, after already having destroyed our humanity. Imo, it was a huge mistake to compromise our integrity as a species.
I don't know, man. You're already here and not twitter, so that's something.

I don't agree with your premise. I think it's both a weapon and a tool, depending on how you use it. I think it just makes the newspapers (intelligence agencies) job easier.
I don't think we need to get rid of electronic money or mobile devices, what we ought to do is be damned careful with how they are implemented.
We are destroying our biome
That's not very obvious and if true has been happening before the development of the transistor
Again, I can't really disagree. We're between a rock and a hard place. I think there's a very real possiblity that it is an ET control mechanism. Like the visitors at the flight school or whatever in africa told those kids
People said the same of steam engines over "good old fashioned" sailboats and horse drawn carriages.
We will never have another gold standard in the US. Fiat is fiat

So go live in a van down by the river. Stop typing on your spaceman box and live like amish.
You're not necessarily wrong. It's more that we need to control technology instead of allowing it to control us
