Technological Regress, the End of Self-Delusion

Leftists tend to believe in social progress, but the proponents of technological progress have often been right-wingers. It means both sides of the political divide appear to believe things are moving forward. What if all progress is self-delusion?

Just this week, freezing temperatures stranded Tesla cars in parts of the USA and Canada. People weren’t able to recharge their frozen batteries.

Electric vehicles (EVs) prove that technology has begun to regress. What appears to us, at first sight, as *new* modern technology is increasingly inferior to the product we used to enjoy. For almost a century, gasoline-powered cars have been able to traverse soaring hot deserts and icy cold arctic plains.
