Religion provides an answer to the question of reality in the venue of organized bureaucracy. This is extremely dangerous, as people will absolutely adhere to the tenets of their code under the ostensibly benevolent organization running the faith. Repeatedly these organizations throughout history have persecuted, discriminated and totally cut apart individual freedom in the effort to convert everyone in their periphery of their reality. This can limit the size of naturally forming pools of human capital. My second negative technology is morality.
Morality is a concept rife with hypocrisy.
It changes with every person, yet is imposed on everyone as a standard. Frequently this standard is paid lip service, but not held up in daily interaction. Take for example the purchase of oil. In our moral lives, we buy power to move ourselves at the expense of eliminating peoples such as the U wa. In all purchases, none of the cost paid reflects any use value of the initial resources, which can be very high for poor peoples.
