    Technology isnt just things that have batteries and go ‘beep’. Technology is also systems of organization and coordination.

    So no. No we don’t.

      It’s the technology that goes “beep” the organization and coordination is what I would define as the “will” and that’s what we lack.

        Organization and coordination are technology though. They don’t just happen. We create tools like phone trees and group chats and meeting structures and ‘roles’ and junk. Sometimes we do it in really horrible ways like feudalism/capitalism. That’s no less technology than a faster less fail prone way to close an artery, or a knowledge of what parts of the EM spectrum will travel best here, and how to use them to communicate.

        Fundamentallu capitalist conception of what a thing is; that a think is the bit you can possess, can own, and nothing else can realky be operated on or understood.

          I like how you listed all things that do exist we just lack the will to put it all together.

          Like there’s not really anything we need to invent to do a lot of these things. We just have to put it all together.

          It’s not that logistics isn’t technology, it is, but we already possess it. Like you said we’re willing to implement it for profit, but we lack the will to implement it for these other uses

            Well… Maybe

            The good organizational systems mostly havemt been tried at scale, because they get the shit murdered out of them when they try. Like 9/11(never forget) or the spanish civil war.

            The old ones have sone MAJOR compatibility issues, it turns out. Small and medium scale trials do show promise.
