After aggresively developing medical intervention to the point of guaranteeing that virtually every baby can survive, we decide to kill about a quarter of them in abortions because "choice."
If we just flushed modern medicine down the toilet, we would get a similar level of survival, but it would be NATURE deciding which babies live or die, rather than Goldman Sachs and the income inequality that institutions like it create.
Another example of augmented reality (abortion) being harmful and fake.
Yeah, I basically am trying to find a solution in technology
Very perceptive of you. I'm not going to name names but not everyone on this forum has great reading comprehension, yet there are a few people lilke you who can not only comprehend but also follow up on the implications.
Interesting anecdote, the Chinese developed gunpowder hundreds of years (at least) before the west started building rifles. Yet the Chinese (and to a certain degree, the Japanese and Koreans too) deliberately suppressed their merchant classes (because merchants only care about money) and this suppressed their technological and economic development. Eventually the forceful reopening of Japan and China's "century of humiliation" was the long-term result. I could go on but I'll spare everyone
So anyway, you like bikes. I'm more of a motorcycle and scooter guy. I use a lot of armor. Although I don't have one yet, electric scooters are borderline free to use. Just as an electric car costs you less than a gas car, an electric scooter costs you less than a gas scooter and a scooter gets 100 miles to the gallon (I don't know what that is in metric, sorry).
I ironically don't believe in global warming but if people just wear some armor and ride around on cheap electric scooters, maybe with nuclear power, if the wars stop because of weapon proliferation and economic interdependency, maybe technology will save us. There's obviously something romantic about going back in time but it isn't going to happen, the advantages of using technologies are just too great.
