3. So far, almost without exception, the inventions made have some negative long term side effects that eventually will make the earth inhabitable to people.
4. For the last generation of people living on earth, I very much doubt that they will agree with you that all the benefits previous generations gained from the inventions was worth the cost.

This gets to where the OP’s question issue leads us after we answer it.
I can’t agree with you that your assumptions are true. They very well might be, but how do you account for the population being at an all time high, if all the inventions (includes medical cures, etc) haven’t helped? Now, whether we have peaked or not (and global warming and those kind of issues) is another story. I just disagree - I think that up to this point we (mankind) have done pretty good for ourselves.
But, this is for the next thread - we are getting ahead of the OP.
