I'd rather live in a stable society than some tech utopia.

So, here's a time machine. You can go back to a time and place of lasting, enduring stability. There have been been numerous such periods in recorded history that have lasted for more than a human lifetime, and likely even more prior to that. (Admittedly a bit of a tautology, given that most 'recorded history' is a record of things happening rather than things staying the same.)

It will be a one-way trip, of course. What year do you set the dial to?

Ok, please surrender your cellphones, internet, steam, tools, writing, etc... all those were given to you by the best of the crop and not the median slop.

the worst part about the average person is that 49% are worse than average

That is not how that works... It would if you said "median"
