Tech in and of itself is neither good/bad...

Lots of modern tech too quickly + humans = bad.

Humans haven't evolved for all this tech and will keep taking it in stupid directions: (Grey dense mega-cities, junk food, junk entertainment/metaverse, sedentary isolated lifestyle, hedonism, addiction, drugs (1/4 US women on psych meds, antibiotics resistant super bugs), globalism (pandemics can spread in days to everywhere), p0rn/online dating, pollution, AI gene editing (where the AI takes over), mass techno AI surveillance state, brain chips, turning in to cyborgs, global financial crashes, etc).

Compare that to living a simple life with friends/family in a tight knit rural community.

Develop tech... but slowly....... Do we need 7G brain-chip internet in our cyborg bodies tomorrow?
