170. "Oh!" say the technophiles, "Science is going to fix all that! We will conquer famine,
eliminate psychological suffering, make everybody healthy and happy!" Yeah, sure. That's what
they said 200 years ago. The Industrial Revolution was supposed to eliminate poverty, make
everybody happy, etc. The actual result has been quite different. The technophiles are hopelessly
naive (or self-deceiving) in their understanding of social problems. They are unaware of
(or choose to ignore) the fact that when large changes, even seemingly beneficial ones, are
introduced into a society, they le ad to a long sequence of other changes, most of which are
impossible to predict (paragraph 103). The result is disruption of the society. So it is very probable that in their attempt to end poverty and disease, engineer docile, happy personalities and s o forth, the technophiles will create social systems that are terribly troubled, even more so that the present one. For example, the scientists boast that they will end famine by creating new, genetically engineered food plants. But this will allow the human population to keep expanding indefinitely, and it is well known that crowding leads to increased stress and aggression. This is merely one example of the PREDICTABLE problems that will arise. We emphasize that, as past experience has shown, technical progress will lead to other new problems for society far more rapidly that it has been solving old ones. Thus it will take a long difficult period of trial and error for the technophiles to work the bugs out of their Brave New World (if they ever do). In the meantime there will be great suffering. So it is not all clear that the survival of industrial society would involve les s suffering than the breakdown of that society would.
