Thank you for this. Finally, some vindication for Luddites.
I hear the term used here in a derogatory way a lot, by people who think no further than "more == good".
- al_borland 3y agoYou’d probably enjoy this episode of 99% Invisible, as well as the book that inspired it (if you haven’t already listened/read). https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/blood-in-the-machine/ https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/blood-in-the-machine/ I’ve heard Luddite used a couple ways. One is derogatory, the other is by people self-identifying as Luddites when they get tired of the endless pursuit of technology for technology’s sake, or they get tired of “smart” everything. Sometimes a nice mechanical tool that will last generations is better than the new fancy version that will be trash in a very short period of time.
