So slavery as indentured servitude is the American future. Way to “new model” the old model.

      Development of technology isnt always progress. Sometimes its a step backwards.

      Progress depends on if it does good or bad. If it just causes a greater disparity of wealth (while building crappy machines that are designed for obsolescence and people dont need), then it is not progress.

      Example: looms are arguably progress (almost everyone needs cloth). Robots that manufacturer ICE SUVs are not progress (making more gas guzzlers is causing mass extinction).

        Don’t confuse technological and societal progress.

        It may not be positive for society, but you still can’t stop progress, if you don’t develop what’s possible, someone else will.

            Yeah and the countries that don’t will pass you by and become your next lords. It’s an unfortunate situation humankind is in.

              Pass me by how? Look at the US and China. Those have polluted the most and they’re fucking terrible to live there.
