 I understand being skeptical of technology; I am myself. However, I don't think we should be decelerationist (Ted Kaczynski type), especially when building freedom tech. It's not just contradictory; it's also a losing side. 

Technology is not inherently bad & it's here to stay, embracing new technologies & making them open to everyone seems like the right approach.

 humans are freedom tech, advance humanity. build better people and not a better crutch.

engineers tend to think of objects and not technique. i will always be skeptical of people who build better and better mouse traps. πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈπŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈπŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ

 Agree, although tech for tech sake is a distraction. Tech that frees me to do something good is good. Tech that merely makes me use more tech is not.
