I'll put it to that the relevance of Illich's "conviviality" is in the claim that vgr's "invisible soul" of tech has an intrinsic telos: human flourishing.
There's no advancement of productive forces if "advancement" doesn't cause flourishing.

This is why I find fetishistic human-centricity and Waldenponding to be the essence of non-Tech.
Itβs people in denial about, or in active resistance against, how the definition of βhumanβ is changing. Left or right, itβs all an aestheticized trad turn.
