You are an insane crackerbrain if you think that the technological, social, political, medical, scientific, moral and cultural progress that has been made in the last 300 years (led of course by western civilisation and filtering down slowly to more backwards cultures) is not good for the species as a whole.

You make me laugh the way you sit back and enjoy your comfortable lives cosseted in all the comforts that all this progress brings to you but which you take for granted (your phone, computer, your health care, your internet connectivity, your global travel options, your car, your house, your bicycle (invented in the 19th century)) and then blithely pan the whole thing as if you hold no truck with it despite leaching all the benfits.

What a bunch of phoney baloney.
