Civilization may not be a mistake, but it is clear that 90% of people in a civilization is dragged forward kicking and screaming by 10% of people into a Civilization it is not equipped to handle and unprepared for.
I think that more than anything is the underlying lesson and danger from the idiocracy documentary
We are injecting tools, and technology into civilization that we are not ready for with no concern or care for the damage it does

I can't even imagine what tech would look like if strict pathways like clinical trials were forced on apps and websites, but I could imagine that be possible one day.

Harm is also subjective which makes it very hard to measure. For example, tech that made people more supportive of gay rights would have been considered very harmful until fairly recently by a majority of the population.
