Well, most mainstream media organizations actually do have a deeply reactionary attitude towards technology and a deeply naively optimistic view towards Nature, in fact routinely committing the naturalistic fallacy... so... almost all of them, on some level?
- abiox 9y agoseems almost comically reductive just to get to the 'all of them' zinger.
- eli_gottlieb 9y agoIt's not a zinger. Almost all major media organizations are techno-reactionary and bio-conservative. They regularly run stories trying to convince people that, for instance, selectively-bred food crops are a Really Bad Idea.
- abiox 9y ago> techno-reactionary yet they have pervasive technology use including new and emerging technologies, so this is reductive. > selectively-bred food crops humans have been doing this for ages, from bananas to cows... are they telling people to not eat bananas? this too seems reductive.
