Ok, let’s assume there’s no technology. Which 5 of your 10 children would you select to die before reaching puberty?

Technology has a curve of usefulness vs complexity. Cars are a good example. The first cars were difficult: hand cranking to start. You had to manually pressurize your gasoline tank, maintenance had to be done regularly and they weren’t very fast. Then around the 60’s - 70’s cars became more reliable. Fuel injection, electronic timing, better spark plugs etc. during the 80 - 90’s cars became more or less rust proof and very easy to operate. Then manufactures started to introduce complexity. You could choose between a myriad of options and engines. Around 2015 manufacturers jumped on the car as an income stream: trying to make it impossible to do maintenance yourself and installing confusing software based systems making cars more and more complex. Imo the best cars were made between 1990-2010. Computers (smartphones are included in this) had a similar timeline and now everything has to be online and connected. It doesn’t make the product better but marketing demands it and selling your customers information is a lucrative side business.

This is because technology is controlled by capital.

País limpio / Clean country :
Grateful for this thoughtful reflection—once technology, especially AI, enters the scene, society reorganizes around it. A short but powerful reminder that adaptation isn’t optional; it’s constant.

"efficiency isn't an option it's a necessity" like needing two working parents to raise a family

You are confusing technology with technocratic social constructs. Technology didn't create those dependencies, we as a society chose to create them and the focus of the conversation should be why we cant solve issues with technology but rather choose to create more with it

you don't have to do this in your personal life btw. once you can afford luxuries of time you can engage in leisure. my parents never understood this so they cannot enjoy free time. meanwhile I'm always stealing free time

Isn't that a consequence of competition? Technology could have made our lives easier, but we're forced to utilize technology to maintain an edge. If we don't, we become irrelevant.

I did got a job without an email. I lost the job because I was not British enough to fit in. it made the team not very happy to have a single non British team member. I was sacked in public also, so I can taste the humiliation and to remember my place in this God forsaken country. pretty cool right?

There’s nothing new in that—humanity has always been in thrall to one thing or another.
