Alekandar Svetski86d agoNah. Tech transforms us. It accelerates everything and clashes with biological tendencies & modalities (which evolve and adapt over much longer time frames).
Consumerism is of course a huge issue too, and we know why. Fiat money bla bla bla.
But tech has a bigger impact.
People think money printing for example fucked everything up in 1971. Sure. It had an impact.
But you know what had a bigger negative impact on society? The pill. Less than a decade beforehand.
Same in 2010 with the proliferation of the smartphone. And later social media.
Not saying we need to go Amish. But these things have a way bigger impact than simple consumerism (consumerism is an accelerant)
