A thought occured to me a couple of months ago. People so regularly forget social technology. Social technology has almost all of the above traits. Want to get rid of Money? Good luck with that.
I suspect, there's an underlying assumption that is false. Humans as individuals? An ideal, I suspect. Evolution favours not individual survival, but group survival. If we accept that Evolution can also be seen as a technological ratchet, then perhaps it becomes clear, it isn't merely technology, but the very nature of Evolution itself.
If this is in fact true, it means that rebelling against Technology (mechanical) is doomed, for it is not rebelling against the holistic. And if it is just a part of broader Evolution, then there is nothing to be done.
