history is tapestry of various narratives and the whole can never be fully expressed in words. What we can do is be as fully aware of the whole as possible as seen from the present ("think global"
, make our ethical choices, follow our hearts and to choose accordingly which narratives we want to keep on telling and how to share them.
Your narrative is to show contempt to Luddites and now also to "freaking peasants", to support and validate the narrative of technocratic progress. I'm not antitech, as I write this on computer, but I see that narrative as alienated from basics of life, blinded by faux sense of control over nature. In my narrative there is a hierarchy of dependencies.
1) Ecosystem as whole is not dependent from humans, but humans are part and dependent from the whole of the ecosystem.
2) Freaking peasants are the "primary production", hunting, fishing, gathering, horticulture, which is dependent only from 1)
3) There are the various layers of secundary etc. production which are dependent from 1) and 2), but primary production is not inherently dependent from secundary etc. production, although it can be violently forced into dependence through pyramid-like social hierarchies we call civilizations. And the more bigger and complex the power hierarchy grows, the more blind and alienated from basics of life the top of the technocratic hierarchy gets. Power corrupts. Technocratic power is not interested in spreading autonomous technology like small community scale windmills etc. sustainable energy and microgrids for local self-sustainability, not organic agriculture and permaculture food forests but Monsanto-type monocultures that deplete top soil and ground water and destroy biodiversity. What it is most interested in contol mania of all the production layers below it that it robs and technology of control and destruction.
