@sun @WandererUber Any technology can lead to a golden age if placed into the right hands and a dark age if placed into the wrong ones. Nothing escapes morality and philosophy, no matter how hard people try to make the world a secular or amoral place.

People treat technology like it's a cold, objective, clinical thing, divorced from the human element, but ultimately all technology is just a bunch of people working together on stuff based on previous stuff a bunch of other people worked on in the past. All technology is sociology at the end of the day.
