I didn't read the comment in that way, but rather that it's better to kill electronics while we still have people alive who know how to build back better rather than that it strikes us in a situation where robots make everything from food to food-making robots
A guy once wrote a whole book about that. Unfortunately he started randomly killing people.
I don't condone what he did, but...
1. His intention wasn't to destroy in order to build resilience.
2. His targets weren't random.
He saw a tech-dependent society as being fragile. Towards the end of the book he talked about subverting the current system which he clearly wanted to destroy before it got out of hand.
I'm dense. Who are you two talking about?
