“The truth is that many of the qualities we admire in human beings can only function in opposition to some kind of disaster, pain, or difficulty; but the tendency of mechanical progress is to eliminate disaster, pain, and difficulty” 

—George “Fuck Technology” Orwell

Hmm 🤔

You can never eliminate disaster, pain or difficulty, notwithstanding any mechanical progress... 

So human beings will always have the opportunity to develop and exhibit qualities we admire

Mr Orwell had impressive theories of language, e.g. words with no meaning

This seems sensationalized 🤷‍♂️

Progress is a continuum but there are no absolutes 

As Victor Frenkel says, happiness is a liquid, suffering is a gas

So do you see it as binary or a continuum?
