Yes, irony. All the burden here is on the commenters, and if they had great ideas they should post them at the top themselves. It’s kind of a poisonous time-sink pattern to ask a quantitative question about an extremely fuzzy concept. The math circuits light up and expect to be able to provide an answer. The best philosophers have fallen prey to bad questions. I also like nazgul’s reference to wittgenstein.
If you swapped out technology with GDP, my comment is straightforward.
I’m not sure whether you’re being ironic.
