See me smiling. If there is one thing, I would like to share and offer to you, it is, that from my point of view, relational processes cannot be isolated from each other like you separate the peel from the orange or salt molecules from fat molecules, when the processes of human culture, embedded in its technology are concerned.
You said:
But the bad aspects of our modern world can be isolated from the good aspects.
Later on you say something different:
One of the biggest problems in the world is the isolation between problems and solutions
Take cars, they take you far and provide great comfort and fast traveling. You cannot isolate the good aspects of car use from their harming ones. You can do that in your mind, certainly, but in real life those numerous effects are interconnected. Streets are fantastic to bring you where you like to go. At the same time, they cover up the lands and make them ugly etc. - it becomes really really difficult to form a balance sheet in trying to figure this things all out for their harms and benefits. Not even counting in the economical aspects and businesses. That is the reason, I dislike to use the terms "good" and "bad", I try to avoid them as much as I can, which is not easy.
Have you heard the expression that "a solution can be the very reason for a problem"? In the same way, solutions and problems cannot be isolated from each other, so here we have a notion which interests us both. A solution may create its very problem and a problem its very solution, really depending on the factors you count in and those you exclude.
Some problems ARE the solution, you also could say, though it is the shorter version of what I tried so express above. If you are interested I send you a link from an older text I wrote about this topic.
