I think we are going to have to define words here. Wealth = prosperity = captured value. You seem to be confusing our recent decades of wealth *destruction* as it’s pursuit and creation. Then laying those imbalances over the path into the future as if this is some inevitable and inextricably linked reality of trying to pursue progress. It is not. What you are describing is the consequence of “progress” being disconnected from reality through a money that transfers lies through the economy about what is actually valuable.
Ie. The money is broken such that it gives nominal gain to endeavors that are true *losses* when weighed against reality.
This is a consequence of bad money misaligning economic incentives, not some fundamental truth of how technology and progress are antithetical to human flourishing. They are not.
