I’ve just been reading about how in the future, AI will allow us to speak with animals, and people will be able to communicate telepathically and live in their own VR worlds. (etc., etc.)

Man, this isn’t a world I want to live in. I’m so tired of the constant paradigm shifting that you have to put your brain through with each innovation. I wish technology just stayed frozen in the 1980s – there would be so much less uncertainty in my life and I could just focus on being a human.

Innovation keeps being forced on you and I just feel tired. >!And I’m only just in my 20s!< Is this ok? Is this valid? When resisting it is a loser’s game…

    I think this is because technological progress allows discourse between people living on opposite sides of the planet, aligning our morals planetwide, ditching what doesn’t work in one society and adopting what they do somewhere else

    it’s good to share beliefs, opinions, and ways of living so that we are aware of what other options exist out there

    I think this is what’s going to end discrimination once and for all, because what we get to see isn’t only what is filtered by public media like tv, which is often controlled by political agents who profit from racism and such
