I can prove your characterization of technology as hopelessly controlled is incorrect. Further, if the only means of being free is to abnegate technology, most of humanity will die if we seek freedom.

Technology includes clothing, pointy sticks, and fire. Clearly, such technology is not under the control of an elite. You can make them yourself. The current revolution in technology that is most transcendent is the prospect of making advanced technology entirely personally controlled. 3D printing, cryptocurrency, aquaponics - all these things enable an individual or community to employ high technology without interference (regulation) from outside the community.

This is a paradigm shift equivalent to abnegating technology in terms of disabling corruption, regulation, and social control, but modern medicine, agriculture, and all other benefits of advanced technology - upon which most of humanity is utterly dependent for survival - remain available to society.

I have lived in the forest, and in cities. Most people are not able to live in the forest, and your position that to be free they must abandon technology leaves them with the choice: submit or die.

That is a false dichotomy. Either we embrace the new paradigm that advanced technology is creating, or we are going to die in droves. Please reconsider your position, so that you can add your personal power to those of us gaining our freedom, and speed the transformation of society to a free and voluntary beneficial association from the dystopian global police state that bad actors are trying to impose on us.
