Completely changed the world in ways that I now am forced to trade most of my life for survival money, have little access to many of the innovations, and that have caused massive irreparable damage to the planet we all share.

My claim is that about 2-5% of those innovations, the basic science, the innovations that enable those with poor vision to see, the victims of accidents to heal, those that enable us to share high quality audio and video reproductions, and speak to friends and family too far travel and a few others are the good ones and the rest are unneeded waste that causes more problems than they solve that came about to take our money.

This is why I like Solarpunk, it's about the simple life using technology that helps and discarding the rest. Just because we can doesn't mean we should when it comes to technology and innovation.

Because of a few with high ambitions and low empathy, we are all forced into a rat race. Having a desire for innovation does not mean it's ok to force others to innovate.
