lmao gunshot wounds are a byproduct of guns and that doesn't change that fact that guns result in them 

what kind of silly deflection is that?

 

"Your intellectual laziness establishes why nobody takes you seriously.

Learn how to properly formulate an argument...tossing out random words you think establishes your case is not it..."

i did formulate an argument, i gave examples  of technology having a harmful impact on the environment

 

btw "biproduct" isn't a word... you'd do well to spell words properly before you start critiquing others

It seems the Dunning-Kruger effect has claimed another victim...

"Your claim (verbatim) was that "technology is intrinsically harmful"

ANY consequence resulting from technology use is EXTRINSIC as it does not concern the nature of what the thing is. Claiming that pencils are intrinsically harmful to humanity is beyond false, it's stupid and that is your argument at this point. That someone can use any random piece of technology to cause harm to others. That not only fails to support your claim at all, since we're speaking INTRINSICALLY, but is hilariously inept.

PS: Start reading (again): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biproduct

Stop embarrassing yourself.

"ANY consequence resulting from technology use is EXTRINSIC as it does not concern the nature of what the thing is"

the definition of extrinsic is as follows

"not part of the essential nature of someone or something; coming or operating from outside"

" not forming part of or belonging to a thing"

 

if you can't see how hilariously stupid your argument was now... we might as well put a stop to it here

to put a finer point on it, pollution for example does not come from a source outside of technology, it is a derivation of technology

 

intrinsic : "Of or relating to the essential nature of a thing."

anyone who understand what technology is understands that an ever present part of technology is waste

that's where the concept of "efficiency" comes from and no machine is 100% efficient there is always some percentage of the input that comes out as waste and that waste almost always is harmful to people and the environment

 

"Stop embarrassing yourself."

lmao right back at you
