I take it article saying the Industrial Revolution was the worst thing that happened to mankind is a parody. If not, that is truly sad.
You completely neglect to adequately explore one of the greatest benefits of industrialization. What about the fact that life expectancies doubled and child mortality fell dramatically, all due to the benefits of the industrial revolution? You talk about the psychological stress of industrialized society. How about watching half your children, or half your siblings, die in pain and misery by age five, as was common in pre-industrial societies? How about watching your parents dying old, crippled, and in pain in their thirties? That isn't stressful? How about knowing that was your fate also?
It is true in some factories brutal working conditions existed. Many of them improved dramatically. However, you think farm work was some walk in the park? Even you admitted that factory work helped create a middle class with adequate food, housing, energy, leisure, education, travel, etc. There was a reason so many came to America to work in her factories. It beat their alternatives. Real world alternatives, not the fantasy world you are projecting.
There is so much wrong with this whole piece. it isn't worth the time to refute. The ridiculous of your argument can be exposed in one quote. "Jung cautioned against the perils of using science to remodel individuals and society." Jung was a manipulative cultist that destroyed people and worked with Allen Dulles to create the MKULTRA Program to "remodel individuals". Using him as your moral reference is totally appropriate for this piece of junk.
During my lifetime, China has industrialized and the average life expectancy has doubled. Ask them about your thoughts.
Firstly, life expectancy is currently falling and secondly, who wants to live half their life in servitude? which is what paying taxes is, and the rest in assisted living?
How many pre-industrial rural people were anything more than serfs, the epitome of servitude? Often they were literally or figuratively owned by their landowners or lords. Thank you for admitting life expectancy is a critical issue, by noting they are falling. Of course, life expectancies are falling from the massively increased levels caused by the Industrial Revolution, which went inadequately covered in your article. Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, it’s six of one 1/2 doz the other , biggest threats are cybernetic inventions, robitization, increase in productivity but wages falling behind .
It really was a huge step that required more sharing and interconnections... I think it's the best thing to move more people out of deeper poverty. Just greed got entangled
None of these shifts can happen without Capital. It is Capital, and its ill use that has enslaved Humanity. Carnegie was probably an agent for the Rothschild Bank. There is a reason why the Bible prohibits usery. Read "The Eleventh Marble" https://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/11thmarble.php
In the 18th C and early 19th C there were some amazing inventors and creative thinkers... and reality shifted out of the openness to the creative spark in mankind towards a system of entropy and what many refer to as either the slave system or 'closed system'
"Entropy - on the domain of our conception of what humanity is, what economics is & what the universe at large is designed to be, allow, permit & our place within said universe."
Quote from Canadian Patriot's Matt Ehret's presentation on Entropy, Scientific Fact or Political Hoax
Two of my favorite past focuses to study in the open system are Russian geochemist and mineralogist Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky and a German philosopher and mathematician, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
From this sequence of events over history, what we can call a 'Dark Age' we've been in for centuries now, is about the suppression of mankind's creative spark and an open system to create. For example, "for Leibniz the Universe was animated by reason by purposefulness & by goodness." So imagine a world where we could develop for the betterment of man within the balance of and reciprocation with nature?
Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky on the other pretty much conceptualized the noosphere and the biosphere in terms one could grasp, talking about creating a reality out of the universe...

🌾 Post-nomadic: farming...

🏢 Post-industrial: managerialism...
🤖 Post-managerial: cyberneticism?

Done on purpose to get the people OFF of the land, and into prisons (cities).
Where the people also went on to lose their 'RURAL (LIFE) SKILLS'.
We went from living AS HUMANS, to living as CAGED ANIMALS (in cities).
I sometimes state, in comments....."START LIVING LIKE A HUMAN!". And I bet that MOST individuals have NO CLUE wtf that even means!
