      How does if feel ignoring the billions of future people you’re actively trying to fuck over by preventing progress that makes their life better, because you think helping people today by making their lives better is a bad thing?

Your one example of someone losing their job would be fine if there weren’t also thousands of other people starving who get better access to food by the same progress. Statistics are people. They’re just the people you’re ignoring to make the world a worse place.
