Another political tactic to ignore how the wealth was made. What are we supposed to do, give everyone million dollar salaries? The real problem is globalism. Corporations didn't have franchises across the world 80 years ago. If America banned globalism and immigration then our wages would increase naturally.

Ted Kaczynski did some messed up shit but he was right about the Industrial Revolution causing many of the problems in our society.

Once we revolutionized, mass production was made easier. This hurt local farms, shoemakers, retailers & restaurants. It eventually led to what we have now.

Several large companies that own and create everything on a massive scale while it’s so expensive for the new startups that they have little chance of succeeding or even competing

Very true. Not sure what the solution is.

Culture needs to shift.

Creating an institution that basically shifts cultural thinking closer to what the Amish had in mind is the civil way of doing it, if at all.

Those same people need to get involved in government somehow and implement policies that limit or get rid of invasive technology.

I hatched an idea with a friend about it and want to put it on paper, the contact people with more resources to see if they want to help me set it up

The real way to change things is very clearly through teaching the next generations. This is what the Left did so effectively in destroying a successful American culture and identity. In fact, there's a famous quote which I for the life of me cannot remember exactly, but goes something like that you can't change an established population's belief, people just die and the old ideas die with them, and new ideas come with the new generation. Or maybe it was that there are no revolutions of thought, rather older ideas die with the older generation and new generations with new ideas come up. Something like that. That's not a perfectly true idea, but there is a lot of truth in it. If we want to rescue what we had and accentuate a connection to a life well-lived, we have to teach those values to the next generations. The problem I see even in the best case scenario is that there are certain practical realities to the mass production of industrialization, and similarly with the effect that Artificial Intelligence will have. Human labor will be less and less necessary, and people will be less valuable because of it. I don't see any way out of that.
