This is the argument made by the Unabomber manifesto [1]. Maybe we should have listened to him?

There are lots of anti-technology philosophers that expressed these ideas a lot better than Ted did. I know it's fun and edgy to go all "the unabomber was right", but if you actually read his writings he's also a weird racist/anti-"woke" whack-job. Read Ellul (ted's main influence) instead. I guess he is the reason I even know who that is though.
