But as the corollary to that, I know of zero successfully stopped technological revolutions. You can't put the genie back in the bottle, and there is no way to stop progress, aside from a one-world authoritarian government that forcibly stops as much of it as they can. But even that would only be marginally effective. Progress would eventually resume.

Yes, you do know of revolutions stopped and it worked for centuries.

Tokugawa Japan, Qing China, many other places including in Europe for centuries.

That's too extreme.

My point is that we're reaching a point where people need to be compensated. We can't just destroy their lives, collect all the money in 2 bank accounts and call it a day.

Bingo.

That's the real flaw in Luddite thinking -- you can destroy the machines.
