Sociology and ecology have led to many critical debates on this topic. From a historical point of view, it can be seen that the forms of knowledge and available technologies have always strongly influenced the mind, the society and the way of life. What is your assessment of this?
The total monetary economy has an unhealthy effect on tech-know-logical choices; the non-stop (24/7) society and the tech-know-mad (tech-nomad) are visible consequences in the public sphere. Mental and physical health will become issues of mass pathology, psychological life will impoverish. The exponentiality of these trends is historically new, leads to increased social instability, but must end up in something. Some voices believe in singularity, which would be welcome, in my opinion.
I've been thinking about it for a long time and I've written a lot of works. Selected of them are collected here:

I think in the end everything will be fine, but it is very different from what it is now. That's about how I would answer the monkeys if they asked what would happen in the end, if they come down from the trees and start to take sticks and tie stones to them with vines.
Я думаю в итоге все будет хорошо, но очень не похоже на то, что сейчас. Примерно так я бы ответил и обезьянам, если бы они спросили, что будет в конце-концов, если они спустятся с деревьев и начнут брать палки и привязывать к ним камни лианами.
I think: Since Göbekli Tepe the human mind has produced more and more impressive replications of his imagination. The found world became an artificial world. The more people there are, the more active this mind is. And the more active it is, the more artificial the world becomes.
Thomas Karl Hillecke This calls for a natural science of the human mind, with respect to the human cultural potential.

Psychologically, more people than ever before are succumbing to stress, depression, hypertension, addiction and even suicide.
Sociologically, corruption, sexual assaults and abuses, violent conflicts over trivial issues are on a rapid upward spiral.
Ecologically, super-disasters are no longer a doomsday prophecy; they are an imminent reality.
