Fukushima caused me to question whether technology and the increase of productive forces create a better society,” he said. “The answer was no.”

I'm right there with him. I have a hard time seeing how all this technology has made a better society.

Sure we wiped out Polio, but we don't have a society anymore where a modern Jonas Salk would not patent the vaccine and give it away for global health. It wouldn't make economic sense.

We might have televisions with 8k resolution, but we're watching a show of people living their lives rather than living our own.

Social media is ubiquitous and ironically the reason the US has a loneliness epidemic.

What's the point of all of it if society isn't better off? It just feels like we're wasting energy to waste energy then become alarmed when they energy creates problems, so them we have to waste more energy to solve it.

Imo, it makes me sense to...just stop. Take a step back, sit down, and chill out.
