Recently had to read a textbook for my ethics class where it said that one of the concerns with technological advancement was that certain technologies promote "authoritarian power structures." What technologies did they use as examples? Railroads and nuclear power plants.

I hate this class

For some reason each and every conversation with "authoritarian power structures" or "hierarchies" i ever witnessed or read, always logically moved towards returning to monke, even if they stopped earlier.

Lol! What is this textbook!? How do they think we would feed humanity and meet their electrical energy requirements? 😂

They said solar panels were congruent with democratic ways of life. So I guess just putting solar panels in everyone's houses _-~-_/

And who's gonna source the raw materials needed for panels and the batteries, design them, manufacture them, and distribute them at a subsidized price?

How do they think we would feed humanity and meet their electrical energy requirements?

in my experience:

  • a shrug
  • an "i dunno man..."
  • a vague motion at something that has literally never worked
  • imagining that processed goods and factories just fall from the skies
  • stealing it
