Ask HN: Where is this world heading?

Do you still believe pushing new inventions into society without any kind of wisdom about how they will change people's behavior is a good thing?

Do you believe in current economic systems? What about political systems? Do you have alternatives?

Do you think modernity is making people happy? Do you have any thoughts on what could be done if you don't?

(please leave politics and religion out of this conversation unless you are speaking about something theoretical)
