Some technology has made life easier, although that doesn't necessarily equate to "better." The psychopathic tyrants who use non-terrestrial technology to develop "tools of convenience" also like to define terms such as "convenient" while they profit off distracting us from the thoughts and activities that truly serve us and the Earth.
For example, mass-produced textiles make life more "convenient," but at what cost? Slave labor, cheap materials, the need to have a "job" in order to make money to pay for the goods, which takes time away from family and home and the local community, who would be the ones doing the textile production in the first place!
Call me a Luddite, but I am starting to see the slow-walked agenda of control in flashing neon signs! (As I, too, type on my slave-labor-made computer into a black screen instead of making stuff, haha.)
Technology has made the average American, fatter, sicker, and more depressed than ever before. Stop the world, I want to get off... and go back to the 1950s when things were just fine. Just shared to Substack Notes.

Previously linked this one @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/2024/09/17/89312/ on 09/17/24. Good article!!
Thanks. We do business with Mennonites they are hard working and honest people. Some of the good guys in all of this mess.
Indeed! Thanks for offering it again. I'll bow out of here to read it now.
Great point that easier doesn't always mean better. Thanks, that's an excellent and broad based truth to chew on for all of us.
You are welcome, glad you found some value in the article.

Thank you, Jim. I get that same feeling sometimes and remind myself that all things here are transitory.
