inhibitoristas

Inhibitoristas is a term sometimes used to describe individuals or groups who advocate for or practice the deliberate slowing or cessation of technological or societal progress. The concept is not a formal political movement or established ideology with a central doctrine. Instead, it encompasses a range of perspectives that share a common concern about the potential negative consequences of rapid advancement.

These concerns can include environmental degradation, social disruption, ethical dilemmas posed by new technologies, or a perceived loss of traditional values and community. Inhibitoristas might argue for a more cautious approach to innovation, emphasizing the need for thorough consideration of long-term impacts before widespread adoption of new technologies. Some may advocate for de-growth or a return to simpler lifestyles, believing that current trajectories are unsustainable or harmful.

The term is often used descriptively rather than as a self-identification. Those who might be labeled Inhibitoristas could come from diverse backgrounds, including environmental activists, Luddites, or individuals critical of consumerism and globalization. Their methods can vary, from public advocacy and political lobbying to individual lifestyle choices aimed at reducing their own technological footprint. There is no unified organization or manifesto associated with Inhibitoristas, making it a broad and loosely defined category of thought and action.
