How do Zhuangzi's ideas relate to modern technological progress?

Answered in Z huang's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

The relentless pursuit of external mastery, of controlling and manipulating nature, often blinds us to the inner harmony that the Dao offers. True progress is not in accumulating more tools, but in cultivating a mind that can navigate the world with simplicity and ease, finding contentment not in what is manipulated, but in what simply is, in its natural state.
