In technology design a primary challenge now is how to shift from the dominate model of automation & augmentation (more! better! faster! growth! etc. - focused on artefacts) to cultivation (permanence, wisdom, appropriate tech, open source, commons, etc. - focused on life)
-
If the narrative of AI, Robotics & Automation is essentially just "more growth" (our current modus operandi), it will dangerously accelerate the wholesale destruction of life on earth - and thus calling such tech "intelligent" is oxymoronic - "cancerous" more accurate.
-
The urge to kill & dominate is quintessentially the same mindset that drives contemporary technological development: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a weapon".

Awesome Agriculture Awesome: "A curated list of awesome open source technology for agriculture, farming, and gardening": https://github.com/beaorn/awesome-agriculture
I really want to have a github-like service, dedicated exclusively to ecological/regenerative open-source projects. If that sounds interesting to you, lets talk.

Maybe if we complementary to trying to ban certain technologies (atomic bomb, cyber-weapons, energy weapons, neuro-engineering, autonomous weapons, geo-engineering, etc.), made deals to strategically decelerate technological development and application, we would see more harmony coming to the exponentials wrecking havoc on the ecosystems.

5G is a bullshit vision developed & pushed by giant bullshit corporations & the bullshit governments they fully control - all of which are about to go extinct anyhow. Plus, 5G is bad for the environment (kills insects) and bad for human health. It's Corruption, not Technology.
repeating @bruces "This race is imaginary bullshit... foisted on us by huge telecom companies that know internet access is fundamentally a commodity and want something new to sell at high prices instead of competing to improve service and lower prices on the networks they have."Wait, why the hell is the ‘race to 5G’ even a race?: https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/23/18637213/5g-race-us-leadership-china-fcc-lte?utm_campaign=theverge&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

These images nicely show the effects of Technology: While the car augmented our ability to move, it amputated critical aspects of human behaviour/culture and destroyed urban spaces.

“There is only one thing more powerful and explosive than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.” — Victor Hugo

The Schauberger CCC model:
Comprehend, Copy and Cooperate with Nature. -
"Wissen ist Ohnmacht" (Knowledge is powerless/impotence)

It's comedic how the ideas of the systems theory, cybernetics & complexity crowd since the 1970s are in essence a confused mishmash of ancient Chinese & Indian ideas, desperately bent to sound "scientific" - resulting in a dysfunctional, overcomplicated Intellectual masturbation.

As a rule of thumb, i want to spend less time negotiating science & technology, and more time negotiating silence & love.
