The human mind seeks answers, but is burdened with the tasks of the body. Technology has freed this burden somewhat and set the mind free so to speak, but now the mind is burdened with arbitrary rules set by technology to empower only a few. I'm not afraid of technology, I'm afraid of what capitalism does with it.
I think it's even worse than that when admitting that capitalism isn't so much some physical force inherent in the world/universe as it is a euphemism for people behaving sufficiently self-centrically to jeopardize the entire species - which, of course, implies self destruction as well.
Seems to me Webster ought update its 'folly' entry....
