How is it hypocritical? Opposed to any other times in human history you can’t give up on society and live a peaceful life in a community.
We’re born into it along with all our families and friends. Telling someone to go off and live in the woods is a life of solitude and probably harsh run ins with the law.
There is no choice nowadays and saying “ha but you live in society so you can’t critique it” is a willful ignorance.
Seriously, if you really believe you're better off without technology, you can live that way without going and living in the woods. Saying you're better off without technology from a smartphone is hypocrisy. I double down on that.
Also, you still have to give up all your family and friends and live by strict Christian values. Not everyone’s cup of tea, especially if one happens to be different in some way.
Technology has solved so many problems. It's also created new ones. But we're way better off, there's no question of that.
