Luddites and Artificial Intelligence -- Low Tech Podcast, No. 65 

Thanks for listening. The tech sector today makes me think of a quotation from my favorite documentary: "your [Jurassic Park] scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." For us, it isn't about being pro- or anti-tech, it is considering the long-term and systemic effects of adopting a piece of technology. Blindly adopting each piece of new technology is just as bad as rejecting it out of hand. It has to be considered. Thanks again.

"I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss."

Thanks for listening!

I've gotten some pretty sore throats hackling flax for linen fiber production. I think any time we're doing a concentrated, repetitive task, we open ourselves up to injury somehow. But point taken!

Luddites would question how emus pedaling bicycles would affect society. :-)
