Technology has a way of wearing out and breaking. Who’s going to fix all of your various machines you depend on? You? Who will machine the replacement parts, fix the code, supply the raw materials? You?
No, we’ll always need each other. No one is an island. We can’t do everything ourselves.

In the proposed futurist model of ubermensch via technology, technology would fix technology.
So we’d have self-reproducing 3D technology-printers, that would self repair.
Normally I wouldn’t say that kind of thing, but this time it’s what I meant as the theological aims of a more tech, less social “society”. It’s the argument I was laying out.
So it was more: with enough technology every man is a sentient super powerful magical island …with no friends, no community, and no identity beyond immediate existence.
