産業革命とその結果は、人類にとって災害でした。彼らは、「先進的な」国に住んでいる私たちの人々の人生の出産を大幅に増やしましたが、彼らは社会を不安定にし、生命を満たさず、人間をin辱にさらし、広範な心理的苦痛につながりました（第三世界では肉体的な苦しみも）、そして自然界に深刻な損害を与えています。テクノロジーの継続的な開発により、状況が悪化します。それは確かに人間をより大きなin辱にさらし、自然界に大きな損害を与え、おそらくより大きな社会的混乱と心理的苦痛につながり、「先進的な」国でさえ肉体的な苦しみの増加につながる可能性があります。
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.
