Technology is Scientific Millenialism — Progress toward Utopia, Heaven on Earth, Chiliasm
Both Scientific Millenialism and Religious Millenialism are false — delusional fantasy.

From Technological Autonomy to Technological Bluff: Jacques Ellul and Our Technological Condition
— “In a technological society, technique shapes everything—not only transportation and communication, but also politics and religion, economics, science, and education, even love and sex—all of these are comprehended as component processes aimed at clearly identifiable and quantitative goals that can be rendered more efficient. In this way, mystery is pushed out of human experience, and replaced with benchmarks, comparison groups, and measurable outcomes. The concept of technique closely parallels Weber’s (1930/1992) notion of “rationalization” (Kalberg, 1980; Ritzer, 2013). What Ellul deemed the fundamental characteristic of the technological society—the application of technique to all aspects of life—Weber identified as the complete triumph of the process of rationalization. In lamenting the lack of resources for critical reflection and engagement in modern society, Marcuse’s (1964) text, One-Dimensional Man, also stakes a claim similar.” Steigel comment
