Technologies are how we shape our world, move away from what is natural. One of these views says that humans are the problem and the solution is to remove as much of their influence from the process as possible. The other says that humans are the solution, that our technologies are not just here to help us get things but to ensure our freedom from enslavement and give us agency in deciding the context in which we live and our society functions.
Our technologies decide who we are, we are what we do and today our technoloigies profoundly influence what we are capable of doing. But who decides what these technologies allow us to do? if what we seek is a set of instruction manuals then its a small group of technocrats and politicians that we become slaves of in our search for convenience and posssession.
It's ok to have a robot clean your floor, but what we look for from these technologies that allow us to coopperate, communicate and speak the language of money and value should be something fundamentally different. They shouldnt prioritize convenience or following someone elses instructions, but should instead users devoting the time and energy to understanding them, mastering them, and learning to write their own instructions.
