I would be very interested in seeing a study that concludes that technology has made us suffer less.
Perhaps it makes sense to define suffering? If you would define it as "expecting from the world what it can not give you", I think we don't suffer less than previous generations. We have more, but we also expect more.
- epups 4y agoIf we define less suffering as living 2x longer, with 100x less child mortality and access to education, safety and entertainment that not even kings in previous generations had, then we should thank technology for that. You can of course go full relativism and say that our society cannot be judged as better or worse than any other, but I think that's disingenuous.
