3. I'm on the side of tribalism. 2 million years of success versus 200 years of world destruction.

 

You would think at some point, after forcing modernity on so many people at gunpoint and by kidnapping their children, that we'd maybe get that they don't WANT the damned thing.

Jerry Mander nailed the issue some 20 years ago in "In The Absence of the Sacred: The Failure of Technology and the Survival of the Indian Nations".

As he pointed out then, if you don't think technology has a political bias, then try building safe, inexpensive, recyclable, neighborhood-sized, community built and operated nuclear power plants.
