Maybe a lot of folks would rather sit around all day and let machines (or others) do their bidding, but nothing makes me feel healthier, more alive and more deeply satisfied than doing hours of physical labor. I realize I’m probably a complete oddball but as a married woman at almost 70 years of age I still do all of my own housework, yard work and split my own firewood by hand with an axe. My only weakness for modern technology is my cellphone and the alt-right news sites. Otherwise I would be very happy living without most modern conveniences and certainly NO artificial intelligence anything. In my opinion today’s civilized masses have completely lost their way, I can’t identify with their thinking.

Tech is overrated. Yeah, it has it's function, but take one look around. Are the people more peaceful because of it? More happy? More civilized? More prosperous? Nope. Like absolutely EVERYTHING else, it is weaponized against the people of the land. It is a direct attack on the entire being, however it is cleverly disguised behind pretend benefit. It is a control mechanism, nothing more and the people who engulf themselves are braiding the rope to hang themselves. History bears witness to this fact.
