Is Progress an Illusion? COURIER Challenges the Narrative in New Video

In a new video from COURIER, titled "How Is This Better?", the author challenges the notion of progress in several key areas. The video begins by questioning the ethics of AI therapy, suggesting it's a "surveillance machine in a police state." This is followed by clips highlighting economic policies, with the author stating, "Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30." This illustrates the perceived negative impact of certain economic decisions. The video also touches on the pervasive influence of media, questioning how "media pipelines influence our opinions." The author concludes by posing the central question: "How is any of this better?" This thought-provoking video encourages critical thinking about the complexities of modern life and the often-unseen consequences of technological and political advancements.
