I think the real unpopular opinion here is that our current brand of technological progress may be a net negative to society.

Humans, without substantial biological modification, do not seem ready for a technology driven quasi-utopia. Keep the biotechnology and pharmacology, keep the industrial robots and keep the private space programs but remove the inexpensive personal computation, omnipresent high-bitrate packet radio networks and with them all of the anti-societal behavior they support.

TL;DR This kid is closer to hyper-sane than brainwashed.
