Have you considered that such a rut could at one point even now be progress. Where we are happy with the level of tech we have and for 1,000 or 10,000 years things stabilize on this planet?
- quotemstr 7y agoblink Are you really trying to define stagnation as progress? Is war peace too?
- devoply 7y agoIf technology is war, then "stagnation" is peace. And technology, at least the way that Capitalist society does technology, is war more or less on the status quo. You could do technology other ways where this would not be the case, but then that would force you to think differently then the way you are thinking now where war is good. I am not arguing here that Capitalism does not work, it works very well... I am not arguing banning technology either. All that I am arguing is that there are other paradigms outside of those where technology is progress and progress is good. This paradigm is a very convincing paradigm because of how well it works in Capitalist society and how it generates wealth and helps accumulate power.
- quotemstr 7y agoYou appear to be arguing from within an esoteric anti-capitalism framework that's redefined a number of common words as terms of art within that framework. You're not going to have a lot of luck convincing people to ban technology by using this framework and those terms.
