Your other posts resemble the musings of a luddite. I guess I was on the right track for criticizing you.

albatross of civilization?

Needing a computer is, like agriculture, another insult to human happiness forced upon us by overpopulation

musings of a luddite.

You still don't get it.

I am not for dispensing with technology--I am against encouraging population growth, which increases the need for more technology.

Perhaps after another twenty or thirty-thousand years, our natures (and bodies) will--through generations lived in pain and struggle--finally adapt to the current level of civilization.

Or perhaps technology will speed up evolution, by first drugging us (already happening) and by later changing our genes (the first steps are being taken), to better suit us to living with technology.
