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

Lol! What is this textbook!? How do they think we would feed humanity and meet their electrical energy requirements? ๐Ÿ˜‚

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

Critical support to the last method.
