i am middle aged man, i experienced life since before even computer and smartphone is a thing like today.

back then, i feel that life is much easier, what i mean easier is more simple life, less competition, less stress, fresh environment, and more happiness despite lack of technology.

but right now, everything is just too complicated despite of power of tech, internet, smartphone, and AI helps, i feel that life is much harder right now, what i mean is like competition is everywhere, stressful everyday, crowded city, and i easily depressed these days.

is it just me or everyone else can relate to what happens right now?

      the socialists are right.

      it’s not about technology, it’s about capitalism.

        If you scale up the Amish to national sized governance it would be socialism with extra steps. But I was referring to their distrust of technology.

          The amish are quite awful if you look into them. Ultimately they’re just another group that exist for the sole purpose of protecting a core of old privileged men who just want to continue diddling kids and beating their wives…

            No argument there. Again, how difficult is it to understand it was a joke about their distrust of technology
