Comment on Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress?

Yes. Much of the technological improvement I’ve seen in the last 20 years isn’t real meaningful. Smartphones don’t make my life better. A 60” flat screen 4k TV doesn’t make movies any better. My 2019 Jeep gets worse gas mileage than my 1978 Gremlin. Plane rides are worse. Ads cover everything I look at. We no longer own music we like to listen to
Was any of it good? Sure, but most of it is just garbage to generate more consumption

Exactly. It’s not ‘progress’ and yet oftentimes you’re forced to go along with it.
