Kinda. Actually I wrote a bit about this for a class.
McLuhan is a must read on the tech question
Not Ted K specifically but something like it. Will check it out @Reinhard Wolff
To an increasing degree, humanity has always been riding the tiger. The civilizational arms race of nations dictates that only the strong and the innovative survive. The dynamics between man and his tools has ever been shifting so that the power balance held by our tools shifts more and more in the favor of our tools. There is no cure all solution here. The two ends of the extreme are equally implausible and utopian. Ted Kaczynsky’s approach and some SciFi future of seamlessly integrated man and machine represent the childish and utopian dreams of mankind.

That sounds like the intro to dune in a sense
humans evolving to having brains that can do calculations at a rate greater than cpu's
Via neural link
They had to do that because the machines were banned. The machines almost destroyed humanity previously.@Balgias
That’s why they needed the spice for the navigators
well weren't they used to fight the machines though?
I don't remember, that was a very long book.
@Sam Anderson That sounds more like the future domain for celebrities
debates turned into what looks like one 90's CG music video fighting the other
It's very possible to be an advanced society while retaining proper social and educational policies that we would advocate for
What's an " advanced society "
It will probably just be used for pr0n.
Am I allowed to say that?🤔
anything that involves entertainment allready is
And it will be LIT my fellow Libertarian who is freedom oriented alone 😅
And advertising beemed directly to your brain
