Everything New Seems BAD!
Are we living in the future, and does the future suck? This is a video about technology and how technological advancement doesn't always seem to lead to social or economic progress. Our machines are more advanced than ever, but can we say, without qualification, that life is better than it was before? Progress is a tricky subject. In some ways human life is clearly better -- medicine, social progress -- but in other ways, maybe not so much: climate change, housing crisis. I'll unpack all of that in this video with the help of Hannah Arendt and Ta-Nehisi Coates
