I don't know what the politics of bitcoin talk is but I would say I agree with all your points but the last two.
Is technology really good? Think about the level of effort and sophistication it takes to use the internet or technology now without your privacy being intruded on. You might need special emails, rarely use your real name, use special plug-ins, config firefox, use a vpn and even all that you may miss some detail. Tech companies have you agree to user agreements, can change them at any time, are vague, major companies like facebook/google outright spy on users and then lie about it whereas the user assumed their privacy was protected(i.e android location), profiles are built on people who don't even have accounts. Technology also makes it easy to look up anyone and find out private and personal details that maybe is best kept private.
I would say in many ways technology degrades, google search and technology in other ways used to be a means of education, learning and it was focused on high quality search results. Now google is crap and what are you going to do about it? It has 90 percent of the market share and search results of competitors aren't that good. Instead of watching a two hour film that requires some focus and concentration you watch a two minute youtube video, youtube is even considered a 'culture'. The interconnectivity and great data monitoring capability of technology allows virtually every aspect of your life from what you learn to what you watch to your friends to health records to bank information to be known by those outside of those areas and shared easily. Also the automation of things dumbs people down and removes them from having control.
Also at a certain point excessive consumption in technology, computers, smart phones is excessive and people confuse what they see on the internet or their smart phones as reality and they don't engage in the real world.
On one hand a strong element of technology relates to those who control/use it; alot of the problems we have today is because major corporations with little competition and oversight control technology and can abuse it without the users doing much about it. At the same time in itself generally I would not say technology is good exactly. i would say it's useful, interesting but it has it's limits.
Humanity should dominate the universe:.. What do you mean exactly? Do you mean all the solar systems, galaxies or that humanity should just dominate existence in itself? Humanity dominates the earth, don't we already dominate the universe? It depends I guess what you mean by universe.
I would say that that is probably not a good thing. Humanity dominates the earth and what has it brought the earth? Massive pollution, environmental degradation, overpopulation, wars, genocide. Compare human beings to an animal, (although some say humans are animals), regardless we are the most advance being in the universe and the only sentient one. People compare humanity to nature, the laws of the jungle, to the state of nature and hold ourselves above the fighting and violence of animal and pointlessness of an instinct based life.
Animals may kill one another for food but no animal has ever wrought the bloodshed and destruction human beings have and not only consciously for no point or reason murder one another but throughout history have done so on a massive scale(war) and also animals don'tcommit crimes, rape one another and so on. The human being is smarter and more sophisticated than an animal, but he hardly has the morals or composure to be above one.
If humanity dominated the universe like it has earth; it would be a continuation and spread of all it has done here.
P.S. MERRY CHRISTMAS
