I’m talking about whether what the article proposes, or any recoiling from technological progress whatsoever, has any merit. I posit it doesn’t.
Personally, I find asking these questions before venturing into large scale projects to be the only sane approach to technology (or life, for that matter). They are existentially responsible: "Progress towards what and progress for whom?"

Progress towards: - reduction in infant morality - increase in communication - access to financial services - curing infectious diseases - extending human lifespan - improving food-source nutrition - allocating hazardous waste - scaling electric transportation
