You're referring to an unknown future world, defining it primarily by a label which literally means "hypothetical world which is bad" and asking us what we think of it. I'm not sure that asking us to compare it with reference to other unknowns like past and future cortisol levels makes it any clearer... Ultimately, I guess it is possible to have a society which is construed in today's eyes as as "dystopian" in its form of organization and yet has a lot of technology assisted endorphin rushes and very little stress (Aldous Huxley wrote about one in 1932) but I'm not sure what that has to do with predictions that lots of people might not be able to eat from climate induced crop failures or loss of employment opportunities, neither of which would appear to give them less stress or better objective living conditions. If your argument boils down to "is technological progress bad?" I think the answer is, "it depends on how it progresses" |
