I agree that both individual and progress of humanity relies on technology. Considering the state of the planet currently, it's essential to support the population count. To clarify, "=/=" is to denote "not equivalent", in that not all technology or advancement is progress. I used to be naive and use/recommend things I now wish never existed. Not because they aren't useful or a potential future, but because of who owns and controls them now. As time goes on, it's clear how dangerous certain tools can be in the wrong hands. If we aren't careful, the feedback loop can end up destroying us and/or limiting our freedoms. Unfortunately it appears this is the current road we are on. On this forum, it's likely that the power we have starts with careful analysis of what we are building and who can use it in (unintended) negative ways.
