@sravani_031 All technology has to be destroyed in a revolution.

@burneracc921825 @NateTalksToYou Apologies, I forgot America invented politics and conservatism.

@Counterfeit325 @NateTalksToYou You aren’t even American

@Counterfeit325 @RealPostFolder the price any technological monopolist could set. same thing applies to politics, as the more they try to legally restrict commodities, the stronger the black market for said commodity becomes, the more people are either reliant on the black market for products, or for business.

@DavidLewis6689 @RealPostFolder You might be right so far but technological discoveries can absolutely become lost again, or example, aqueducts after Rome fell. And at some point the earth may be so depleted that rebuilding after a collapse is not possible even if you knew how to build refrigerators or engines.

@Counterfeit325 @RealPostFolder the easier it is to make a massive profit off of it by leveraging access to a larger consumer base. lowering costs by making production more efficient has a similar effect. since the idea of how to do it itself can never be put back into the box, any attempt at monopolizing the-

@DavidLewis6689 @RealPostFolder When you go back far enough, all technology becomes primitive enough that anyone can create it and is not at all restricted to any sort of upper class. Any group of people can band together to create shelter and fire and hunt and there is hardly a way to restrict that.

@Counterfeit325 @RealPostFolder technological advancement slowly takes options that only the powerful had access to in the past, makes it accessible to everyone permanently, and slowly distributes itself across society until it becomes ubiquitous. that's inherently good, i'd imagine.
English
@sir_gayass @RealPostFolder Yes, currently society is technologically advanced, we agree.
English
@Counterfeit325 @RealPostFolder tf you mean we need to be "advanced"? we have had nuclear power since the 1950s

@elhotzo Diese Zukunft findet sich in der Vergangenheit. Technologischer Fortschritt hat der Menschheit im Großen und Ganzen mehr geschadet als geholfen.
Deutsch
nicht als Kritik gemeint, aber ich persönlich fände es schön, wenn es eine Zukunft gäbe, die nicht darin besteht, dass sich 99% der Menschheit totschuftet und in dem bisschen Freizeit, das bleibt, von KI-Werbung unterbrochenen KI-Müll von einer Handvoll Bildschirmen konsumiert

@SpaceKoala Whether or not it's going to happen, it should. We should make it happen. People have to return to the stone age or earlier.

Technopessisimists have been gleely forecasting mass die offs of humanity for centuries.
Look not for the future of those seeing doom, but of those that rise to solve the problems of humanity.
Nate Hagens@NJHagens
Techno-optimists dream of a future where we mine, travel to, and colonize other planets – all in the hopes of bypassing the problems we now face on Earth. But from the perspective of physics and ecology, how feasible is space colonization?

@p0lyergus @GambelerQuail Funnily enough, the number of people suffering from leprosy would go down if the number of people went down! We did the maths.
English
@Counterfeit325 @GambelerQuail okay i will reprise. ''compared to dying of leprosy in some muddy ditch? stuff is pretty sweet right now''
English
When people fetishize old ways of life they’re imagining that everyone just fucking loved washing clothes in the river and doing 400 laborious chores everyday just to stay afloat.
I’m pretty sure they would have gladly used a washing machine and microwave or whatever lol
English
these terms are awful, you don't know if the other speaker is referring to the bronze age (1970-1985) or the bronze age (3300-1200 BC)
ana@uukhanu
it’s odd because there technically are terms for the modern age but no one uses them
English
@GreenbergJolly @thehorizon2b2t Precisely because technological progress will always end up at this point humanity should revert to hunting and gathering and hopefully in another few tens of thousands of years they'll go extinct or do it again.
English
@thehorizon2b2t There needs to be stricter regulation on AI. Technology like this was inevitable, and blaming the people who invented it is just silly
English
all the researchers and scientists who helped create this tool deserve to be tried and punished. it has literally brought no good upon this world

this was made with ChatGPT Image 2.0. we are so cooked 😭

@BillyDaMarten @p0lyergus @GambelerQuail The reasons why we should go back to way before the 70s (and why the "modern person" is wrong) only made it into the news briefly in 1995.
English
@p0lyergus @Counterfeit325 @GambelerQuail Despite everything that you see in the news, it’s actually a pretty good life nowadays. Life did suck ass that much, I’m pretty certain that the modern person when told of everything changing and take account of all things, the farthest they’d go back in time is the 70s.
English
@p0lyergus @GambelerQuail You're clearly not going back in time far enough if you worry about dying of a disease that really only becomes an issue in cities.

@Counterfeit325 @GambelerQuail compared to dying of dysentery in some muddy ditch? stuff is pretty sweet right now

@clairebubblepop The correct number of people in Britain is 0. Because boats are evil.

@lawen4cer Jemand sagte einst: "Konservative sind Narren. Sie beklagen den Verfall von traditionellen Werten, aber unterstützen gleichzeitig technologischen Fortschritt und wirtschaftlichen Wachstum."
Im Grunde sollten wir auf beides verzichten, "traditionelle" Werte sind längst zu modern.

Warum dürfen Konservative auch Technik nutzen die nach 1850 erfunden wurde?

Warum dürfen Grüne eigentlich Auto fahren, Ihre Wohnung heizen und Handy und Computer benutzen? Die Wähler der Grünen wissen doch das als alles dem Klima schadet. Warum verzichten die denn nicht auf alle Annehmlichkeiten seit der Steinzeit?
