I'd say the attitudes 50 or 100 years were dramatically more short sighted than today; destructiveness is bit debatable but lets not kid ourselves that the past was some gentle setting. Also take into account the fact that human population has quadrupled in the past 100ish years, and industrialized population growth has been even more dramatic; I don't know if you can say technology has become much more destructive when there are just so much more people partaking in that destruction.
- grapescheesee 4y agoYes, that is interesting, and it is exacerbating the visible negatives. It is true, in general the expectations of first world quality of life; insofar as the current daily drivers. I do believe regardless of the scale, technology has become more destructive. The root cause has become far more nuanced, yet at the center is the idea. Human curiosity to see and prove, which itself isn't bad. The capital to prove the idea, and advance; is when the damage starts. I am not able to refute this cycle, it is just how the cutting edge of industry works. So it might appear you are correct.
