Why do you see things as negativeism vs positivism? Do you not live in a world where good and evil are syncretic? That mindset is bizarre, to me.

My personal experience with Starlink is that it's an expensive LTE alternative. It's not a broadband replacement, the entire thing is pretty clearly a coverup for dual-use technology in low earth orbit:

    Starshield was adapted from the global communications network Starlink but brings additional capabilities such as target tracking, optical and radio reconnaissance, and early missile warning. [0]

Reality doesn't hinge around negativism and positivism. It's a mixture of both, it's unhealthy to pretend that technology only has positive uses and cannot ever have negative side effects.

I choose positivity, because it allows me to live a happy life.

Regarding Starlink, I like it because it gives people free internet in flights. It gives a friend the possibility to stay in a rural home while being able to work. It gives tens of thousands access to information when there are catastrophes like the Venezuela earthquake.

It makes people being able to live a happy(er) life.

Satellite internet existed before Starlink. Those people had access to other options, I know that because I was one of them!

Do you still choose positivity when Starlink is used to target and attack civilians and civil infrastructure? Are you still "positive" if Russia or China starts attacking Starlink with satellite weaponry? Are you positive about Starlink when Kessler Syndrome takes over, and leaves customers dependent on a logistics network that was never for them?

There are positives and negatives. As a rural Starlink customer, I feel comfortable saying that the negatives far outweigh the positives.
