his tirade reads more like a Luddite treatise. what he fails to understand is that technology is a tool: decentralized and in the hands of individuals, they are the empowered ones!

when concentrated into highly centralized authoritarian structures, often tied to the state like good members of fascist corporatism, technology is every bit the horror described.

build decentralized systems to empower individuals!

then, technology and technocrats your ally...
