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.

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
