I do not, and cannot, believe that anyone could think technology should just stop advancing because we already have what we need to live full lives.
Let me explain why this is not an acceptable viewpoint:
-As long as coal and oil remain our fuel sources, we will need technology to somehow recover our land and provide our power needs, if at all possible, when all of that runs out.
-As long as we are polluting rivers and oceans with toxic run off, illegal dumping and micro plastics, we will need technology to somehow recover our water sources, if at all possible, if we are to survive.
-As long as there is hunger, poverty, disease or any other ill that befalls any human being anywhere on this planet, a life of fulfillment is impossible.
-As long as there is crumbling infrastructure, schools with no heating, poor educational standards, corporate greed, dangerous or illegal work standards and employment ethics, sexual harassment in the workplace, religious violence, the victimization of men, women and children by all forms of abuse, a crippled health care system, or anything else that leaves people broken and without hope, a life of fulfillment is impossible.
As long as we remain on the track we're on now, we will not have a home to live this fantasy life of fulfillment. Our only hope of survival might be to leave the world all together- assuming we even make it that far. That alone is driven by the advance of technology.
So tell me- whose "fulfillment", whose "full life" is it that are we really talking about here?
