> We have reached the point of diminishing returns when it comes to technological development.

Every generation says this, while at exactly the same time regarding previous ways of life completely unthinkable.

In some ways previous life was preferable. HN is a bubble of techno-optimists.

Like what? The lack of indoor plumbing? Or perhaps the high infant mortality rates? The only way to believe this is to live in total ignorance of history.

Lack of: Facebook, Instagram, 5G, smartphones made obsolete every 3 seconds, even NEEDING a smartphone, AI, etc...

The world was MUCH better without all this junk.
