I don't know how anyone working in this sector can not hate technology

Right before we invented agriculture. Life was legitimately better during the hunter gatherer times.

>I hate the thing that enables my soft bodied existence
No you don't. You just hate how powerless you feel as just another worker in the hive. You'd feel the same way if you actually managed to survive into adulthood 8,000 years ago.

2005-2015. We had everything and even when you account for unsustainable stuff like fossil fuels eventually running out/causing climate change, we would just scale up production of existing green tech. All the technology that was needed to save the world existed before 2015, and on the consumer side Moorse Law has done nothing good. The only thing it did is make AAA game developers waste more cash on graphics to force gamers to buy better hardwere, which was furling the need to keep upgrading, and people upgrading allowed we devs to be sloppy which then required non-gamer people to upgrade as well, and all of this upgrading eventually just resulted in AI, not even the “good” machine learning like Alphafold since Alphafold is tiny compared to diffusion models and LLMs.

You really find it hard to believe people want the soft bodies to perish? I would love to see tech and supply chains crash and the 75% of obese Americans to starve and die of their self inflicted diabetes. Would be hilarious

There's a small chance something interesting might happen.
In fact, quite a few interesting things have happened.
But before we get to the truly interesting things (if ever), there's a fuckton of suck in between. Too much suck. And I'd be long dead if we ever arrive at the truly great things.

I think the correct answer is somewhere around the early 2000s. However it's also probably the time that most of the people who post here grew up in so there's definitely some bias.

Probably the early 60s. The only reason why people think that 90s or 00s is good, is because the technology was too new to be used everywhere and by everyone. Continuing with technology from those times would also make things suck in the future. Best thing is to not have it period.

Ted was an MKUltra victim. We've known this for years. It really makes sense when you see how widespread that "completely healthy" phenomenon is now.

None. The best time to live in is now. Those of you who want to turn back the clock don't fully grasp the consequences of your actions and you are irredeemably evil for as long as you hold this anti-human anti-progress anti-technological belief.

You wish to deprive people of a meaningful life, to bind them in the chains of a doomed existence, with no work or interest to even distract them. Any year of the past century is a mercy and you reject even that
