Tech company = making the world more digital. Perverting humanity. Moving us further away from our natural state. Ripping away any innate semblance of purpose we had.
Automation = Removing the stand in sense of purpose people had found in the modern world. Increasing inequality. Increasing the needed level of education to be productive.
Advertising = creates and reinforces wants. Makes people unhappy with what they already have. Causes them to then have to seek to be productive which is bad because of the previous two.
- bagacrap 7y agoOne wonders what pleasure austhrow743 might derive from reading HN if not interested in tech.
- austhrow743 7y agoI am interested in tech. I don't believe it's morally good.
- shadowgovt 7y agoI sure do hate how technology moved me away from my natural state of... checks notes... dying in childbirth. I think the net this criticism casts is too wide.
- austhrow743 7y agoIf you died in childbirth then you wouldn't be around to dwell upon it would you?
- shadowgovt 7y agoThis would be a net negative for me. But then, if this technology weren't all here we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
