I am tech obsessed but I understand that technology is a tool and as these tools become available to me I'm going to want to use them. But I also see people again this is going back to the learned helplessness of saying there goes my job now the fucking robot's gonna do my job. These are moral panicking humanists as I call them never yet which is the lump of labor fallacy. Whenever tech automates or disrupts a category of labor it creates 10 times more new kinds of labor so these feed the entire planet with like maybe 4% of some modern populations in agriculture.
