We Are Afraid To Be Better

The author argues that people are afraid to be better, comparing technology adoption to Christian ideas of sin and repentance. Drawing on Wayne Grudem's definition of sin, the piece says people choose a lower quality of life with current products out of fear of healthier alternatives. It presents Humane, maker of the AI Pin, as an attempt to change culture, while noting that its launch has been met with a largely hostile reaction and that the company has so far emphasized features over lifestyle.
