I think this is plainly incorrect just from observing the general history of civilization. As technology progresses, society at large shifts around the emerging accepted tech, so even previously “mundane” or “standard” things become integrated into the new paradigm. Without a phone, computer, or car, the average person would struggle immensely, yet all of these tools are optional in the most worthless and impractical sense of the word.

Literally. Genuinely so many pretentious “I’m logical ur emotional checkmate” brainlets in one place
