> As someone who has spent a vast portion of life believing technology would make life better, I've come to the realisation that this idea is a fallacy.

I have to very regularly remind myself many people genuinely believe this shit and are not straight up evil/maniacs, it's getting harder



I'm thinking that personally, technology is not bad in a vacuum and not necessarily bad in society, but it just reveals that our system is ill-equipped to guarantee good usage of it.

We could have fun defining what's good usage but we're so far from it, it would just make me sad.


What, so you believe technology corrupts absolutely? Nonsense.
