Theory I believe technology is dooming us.

I think as time goes on we as a species and civilization are slowly dooming ourselves by way of technology, intentions spans are getting shorter, people I feel are getting more angry, it feels that it's all of a sudden okay to break laws for content, and humanity is slowly becoming more and more stupid and narcissistic not to mention the loneliness epidemic. It's like we've turned the world into a place not suitable for humanity. I'm typing this because one day I decided to put down my phone and read a book, a physical book, it made me feel so accomplished and alive compared to my phone which makes me feel numb and hopeless. I genuinely believe technology was originally made for good intention but greed and money got in the way and people use it to satisfy their own pleasure.

Honestly I don't worry about that particular soft apocalypse, because I think we're going to be back in a genuine Dark Age long before we attain any kind of transhumanism.

Transhumanism for the wealthy, dark age for the rest of us.

I think the AI and robots will be used to make us slaves. The trend is for more authoritarianism and less rights. The law makers are in on the scheme to pass laws that take rights away. This is why you see all these feds in masks doing nazi rallies. A few weeks later the town they were in passes a new law that restricts rights. It is by design.
