Not sure anybody is thinking along these lines in the age of AI. We seem to have completely forgotten, or maybe have never known in the first place, what is it that we're on this planet for and what feels right. > Once we grant the possibility of a proper human scale, we see that we have made a radical change of assumptions and values. We realize that we are less interested in technological 'breakthroughs' than in technological elegance. Of a new tool or method we will no longer ask: Is it fast? Is it powerful? Is it a labor saver? How many workers will it replace? We will ask instead: Can we (and our children) afford it? Is it fitting to our real needs? Is it becoming to us? Is it unhealthy or ugly? - Wendell Berry, Getting Along With Nature (1982)
