Principles for convivial technology

Read the Convivialist Principles.

Today I was reading the Convivialist Manifesto and thinking about how this applies to tech and the technological systems we build. The following quote resonated with me. It was written in 1973 but seems to sting with a particular sharpness today with the backdrop of web3 and 'artificial technology' advancements / enclosures.

“The hypothesis was that machines can replace slaves. The evidence shows that, used for this purpose, machines enslave men.” Tools for conviviality, by Ivan Illich, 1973.
