The limits of “PROGRESS”: Would you buy a replica of, say, a Van Gogh painting that is made with “better” material and uses “improved” techniques? Would you value it more than the original?
This helps understand the abhorrent aspect of much of economic “growth”, neophilia, genetic modification, “chemical enhancements” of life, “singularity” and other naive rationalistic concepts.

Hint(since few are getting previous post): if someone gives you more than one reason for anything, he doesn’t have a real reason….

Disdain is when someone is derided on one single account; envy more than one.

Obsessions are antifragile –you feed them by trying to get rid of them.
