Four primary driving forces of technological development:

1. War. This toxicifies and wipes out ecosystems and cultures.

2. Profit. As above.

3. ‘Medicine’. This is, primarily, a profiteering method that takes advantage of the lethal results of the first two.

4. Convenience: This is an illusion of liberation that generally results in new kinds and forms of slavery and dissociation/disembodiment.

All feet are always on the accelerator: and there is no brake.
