I understand and empathise with the position you’re putting forward, but am left curious, since you mentioned the evidence is mounting, whether you can substantiate the claim that technology is net-negative. I mean, just on the face of it, the bulk of people went from peasants to middle class over a few hundred years, and I don’t think you can point to much _except_ for technological improvement as the reasons for these gains.


It all was at the expense of environment.

And if we define being good as “help us to further keep human race alive as top spiecies”

Then yes, technology caused more harm than good.

World is currently experiencing another mass extinction event and at the current pace of events billions of ppl will either die from starvation or dehydration or various ecological disasters or wars caused by population migrations.
