To level-set,
- oil-based energy powered our global economy that was able to research alternative forms of energy
- both nutrition and science have always been an unfinished work, "we don't know everything" != "we know nothing"
- free markets, for their faults, are still better than any other base system we've come up with
- communications technology, I'd hazard we're still grasping with the repurcussions of this re: democracy and many other pre-existing systems. But the fact that I read about the Rohingya genocide by Myanmar again on the front page of the BBC this morning would indicate it has its advantages to the world too
- agumonkey 9y agoyeah I paint a dark picture, probably too dark, but I have a different view, at least on the information. Today I see and know "all" at least that's what you think. I know what the press feel is important (one month greece is doomed, next month they forgot what greece is). It's almost pure noise. I'm starting to believe that space and isolation has its value, at least to a degree. Then there are the social implications. It's very weird.
