We in the “developed” world have inherited an enormous treasure chest…
… of labor-saving technologies and healing medicines… safe drinking water and grocery stores… smart phones and air conditioning… automobiles, airplanes, and weather satellites… literacy, libraries, free speech, and entertainment on demand… to name but a few.
I’d never refuse to enjoy or employ any of these conveniences, luxuries, and liberties…
… but at what cost? And to what end? I am compelled to ask.
