@taknamay I'm pretty sure we can have a technological society under a non-profit driven governing system. It won't move or develop as fast, because we can't abuse people as we do today. But then again, what _actual_ development have we seen the last decade or two? Nothing particularly revolutionary.

Over time perhaps we could learn how to have a fast-paced technological development without ignoring human rights issues. I would hope so anyway, but until then I'd be perfectly happy with a slower pace. I mean, what's the rush?

The only rush we have today is that society as we know it will collapse _because_ of the fast moving development without any regards to the environment or anything else.
