There are alive today many millions of people who live in greater suffering than they could without technology, and it will get unfathomably worse as technology advances.
So what are you going to do about it? I know I've pointed this out many times and I'm sure it bothers you but there are 3 main options as I see it:
1. You can just choose not to think about it much. Live life as best you can, try to be good to people, etc. Most people I know fall into this category, myself included. Occasionally give blood or donate old clothes and let the social workers sort it out.
2. You can volunteer your time and/or money to various charities and/or causes to help the less fortunate. For all your crusades against wealth and the wealthy, just think-- you have the intelligence to accumulate it yourself and redistribute it as you see fit. How many billions of dollars has Bill Gates given to charity? How much time has he spent on those causes? Clearly that is an unrealistic goal. But replace billions with millions and I'm sure you could do it.
3. You can continue spending all your time searching the web, finding cool internet memes, preaching to a dozen or so people on a small poker forum, and otherwise being lazy and complaining about the state of society without ever really doing anything to positively change it.
