The idea technology is completely neutral is obviously stupid and obviously wrong.

Neil Postman has two amazing books on this subject.

It is not even that technology is good or bad, any technology will have good and bad aspects but the main issue is that we have surrendered culture and agency to technology as a society.

There is no going back or fix now. The fix for all was a culture that devalues bad uses of technology so that there is no money in creating something shitty. We basically have the opposite of that. Even completely useless technology is worth a ton of money because of our culture.

The solution is not Luddism either. Especially a ridiculous techno-Luddism.

For me, the Faustian bargain with technology has already been signed in blood and there is nothing to do other than enjoy the roller coaster ride.
