I’m convinced that left wing zoomers are just as smooth brained as boomers when it comes to technology.
This same bullshit logic ALWAYS gets applied whenever money is diverted for research, exploration, and innovation. You can’t stop or fight technology, and new technology is not bad. Just think about your life for a moment. Think about the phone that you spend your every minute of your every day shitposting on… That started out as an idea that got developed with time, money, and resources that could’ve been used to feed the homeless. In hindsight, should’ve that time, money, and resources been used on homeless shelter? Hell no, smartphones are amazing and better off with them. You would be lying to say otherwise.
The reality is that capital drives innovation, innovation creates technology, and technology helps us raise our standards of living. It’s not a zero sum game. We can have investment and capital that create new technology AND invest in solving societal issues. The new technology we invested resources on can and will help us solve more complex issues just like they have throughout time.
We literally do. Every single year, we spend hundreds of billions on trying to solve global issues like disease, poverty, hunger, climate change, environmental destruction, and the list goes on and on. Domestically, we also spend hundreds of billions of dollars trying to fix societal issues like homeless, healthcare, crime, infrastructure, and the list goes on and on. Even as a people, as individuals, we’re the most generous in the world. We donate the most to charity, we spend the most time volunteering, and we’re the most likely to help a stranger. It’s not that we spend to little on domestic and global issues, it’s just that, as it turns out, not every problem can be magically solved by throwing money at it.

If you agree we should be doing both, then what are you mad about? We’re only doing the former. That’s the complaint.
