What are we doing in the name of progress?
The world is hard, and tech bros are here to make it easier, and there is a price for progress: loss of jobs, loss of friendships, loss of purpose, and loss of meaning. You either agree with this, or you are outdated; an old man rumbling about the good times that were there, 10, 20, 50 years ago. So you adapt, or fall behind.
But despite the fact we have social networks, we feel more lonely and less connected to our fellow human beings. Despite the fact that we have the entire human knowledge in our pockets, we can’t seem to distinguish truth from lies, good from bad, and we are more divided than ever. And contrary to what progress advocates tell you, we, in fact, have less time to do the things we really want to do.
Well said, Dmitry Kudryavtsev.
