And it being "good" makes it unstable.

[Anonymous No.13143272]

Ted diagnoses the problem very well. However, I don't think there is a solution. We've already wrecked biodiversity, forested down nearly entire countries (see Britain and parts of western Europe), and created a society that has been heavily dependent upon technology for the past 3 generations more or less, so much so that a life without it is borderline incomprehensible to the cumbrain consumerist of today. It's best just to get some rural property, try and be relatively self-sufficient, and have a stable family to instill these values in. It is completely unrealistic to have an anti-tech revolution when the world can't even revolt towards the materialistic socialism it is so predisposed towards.
Also I dislike how uncommitted Ted is to anything metaphysical. The role of man in nature at its most profound level ultimately comes down to a question of metaphysics. I would happily see him write something either atheistic or religious, I just want him to have some sort of take on it rather than constantly saying "regardless of one's religious beliefs" when prefacing like half the things he writes.

Technology itself isn't the problem. Obsessing with innovation for the sake of it (although it's not really, if you read Jung) is not.

[Anonymous No.13144141]

>>13143701
Nope. Tech definitely is the problem. It is fundamentally beyond prediction and control, and it artificially speeds up a process of competition among competing self-propagating systems to the point of destruction. This is the point that is argued.

You should really read ted's "Anti-Tech Revolution" It addresses all of this. Revolution against technology far, far easier than it would first appear and it's fundamentally different from prior revolutions.

This idea of the mycorrhyzal networks, or bactieria etc. is an example of biotech geo-engineering. there are fundamental, massive problems with this whole approach.

For every technological fix, the fix brings its own unforeseen consequences, and expands and interacts with the web of society and the biosphere over time in ways tat are fundamentally impossible to predict and control.

Furthermore, the more techno-solutions, the more the safety of the biosphere is DEPENDENT on technological solutions. When civilization breaks down, the natural processes will have ceased to function, and the entire earth system will go haywire.

Also, with your techno-solutions, the pressure is relieved (temporarily) on the environment, so that the incentive for human social systems to change their behavior is reduced, so competing social systems ramp up their negative behavior to negate the techno-fix to begin with.

[Anonymous No.13148436]

in this whole thread there are two responses that dont reek of low iq.
Ted has savant level iq and he was subject to having his viewpoints crushed and crushed again in the "mk ultra" experiments. What he says is true and very thought through, there are no easily obser flaws in his logic and the responses in this thread written by pro-tech people are evidence for it.
>muh singularity will fix this
The solution of having more technological advancement to fix the damage of technological advancement (which is unrealistic btw) will be useless, because the political leaders never unite under one great cause and the wheel will not be steered into one direction by everyone.
It is idealistic to think that once we have the technology to fix everything, everyone will unite and fix everything.
