I understand where you guys are coming from but don't you want to explore space one day? It's so obvious that we're supposed to venture into the cosmos and I feel like primitivism, while important to keep in touch with, is antithetical to humankind's real ultimate destiny. Is there a way we can properly utilize technology without it destroying us and our society?

Fuck space.

it won't be you going up there user. It will by a micro-elite of higly specialized technicians, funded by the blood, sweat and tears of the plebs. Don't forget this. You WILL get to watch it on TV, though.

How has that been going so far? Honestly now.
Any given technology serves a specific purpose, and the technical complex as a whole serves its own purposes exclusively, just like any other system within nature. There is nothing that mandates that such purpose -especially at scale- will lead to 'more freedom' or less suffering. Widescale adoption of any technology has had and will continue to have forseen and unforseen widespread societal impacts, many of which will continue to prove less than desirable.
The detrimental impact on human freedom resulting from the highly organized nature of the technological system cannot be escaped. When a new technological development is introduced as an option that an individual can accept or not as he chooses, it does not necessarily remain optional. In many cases the new technology changes society in such a way that people eventually find themselves forced to use it.
