Restricting Technology

Certain individuals promote the concept of restricting technology and social or economic advancement and independence to prevent the potential for abuse by 'malign individuals'.

'Wacos' can be handled properly. The Amish pose no threat, but they are self sufficient. Working together with other individually reliant communities is a fabulous way to make a strong and vibrant economy and world. This can be done through free communication, regional reliance, ease of travel, and local business, and will produce a commonwealth of allied communities all benefitting from efficiency and service maximizing entrepreneurship. Free central communication and the inalienable right to it will integrate all cultures and people ad radical forms will have the ability to discss, others who will care and share and refine their desire to make a difference.

Unfortunately, this restrictionist economic and social worldview seems to be in effect, conscious or no. It would be wiser to practice economic and electrical decentralization, to produce well appoined fuel cells and solar paneling and cars that can run without relying on gasoline, lives that can run without relying on the state. This seems to be the ultimate in deregulation, yes? This kind of technological and social demystification, promoting self sufficiency, will make our system more resilient rather than brittle.
