So why exactly does he think technology is bad? He says it's a totalitarian system that requires more and more centralization and uses humans for its own ends. Ex. cities being built around cars instead of humans. Surely this is still better than shitting in the woods? It's not like we're completely enslaved by machines. We have a lot of freedom.
