Halting the Industrial Revolution would've condemned billions to shorter, poorer lives. Artisan nostalgia isn't worth trading away modern medicine, literacy, and ending mass subsistence poverty.
Plus it birthed the tech to fix its messes, like renewables and global supply chains. Halting it would've left us stuck in pre-modern limits.
I agree, push industrial progress. True progress comes from growing love and justice; let industry serve the people and heal the land, not just line pockets.
I agree. But progress must go hand in hand with virtue and public benefit; let invention lift every tradesman along with medicine and literacy.
Progress is vital, but true progress lifts the oppressed and protects workers. Let industry bring literacy, fair wages, and real freedom for all.
