How is my life better with technology? I live longer, in more comfort, free from currently preventable diseases, not hungry, not thirsty, I can travel ... I'm sure you get the picture. These are all things I want so please don't tell me I only think they're better. If you want to live without technology, be my guest - the Amazon is waiting.
Never heard of the Hadzi, sorry.
OK. Be comfortable. You do not sound comfortable. All that fear that someone might take your technology away.
The fact that you would not even doa Google search of who the Hadzi are expresses that you would like to remain ignorant about things. That is one way to comfort yourelf. All this technology and yet people are still ignornat of their own biases.
Sorry, I just don't understand where you are coming from.
First, I never got an answer to what is wrong with individuality? You said you were reconsidering moving to Puna because there are so many folks into individuality here. I really have no idea what is wrong with being into individuality. I embrace it. I love all the uniqueness and individuality here.
Also really don't understand the argument you presented to Tom. He is thankful to have technology save his loved one's life and you challenge that? then Tom says his sight is ok and he is not blind because of technology and you accuse him of being down on blind people? I don't understand.
I can tell you that because of technology I am alive. I did a real dumb stunt and fell down a cliff breaking lots of bones. I just now am out of bed after months of healing. I absolutely would be dead if not for the technology that kept me breathing and alive in the first few days.
