this is why people dislike you

you vilified him for sarcastically saying something that quite efficaciously describes people's jeremiad with it

two sentences in and he's using an adjective or an adverb every other word
He didn't give any good feedback.

Basically, he was being an ass for attention. Like always.

He's suggesting that you use less obscure words.

are you blind

How many obscure words can you use in the same place?

Okay, sorry... maybe I am blind

Basically, he was being an ass for attention. Like always.

gonna go all bisjac here

and being an ass for attention is worse than pretending to be a girl for attention?

Okay, buddy. This piece of writing is great. But at the same time, it is not well-written. This is due to the lack of a voice your writing. I have been reading through a bunch of forum posts in the Creativity section involving writing, and your problem is not uncommon. The voice is one of the most crucial parts in writing. The voice is what keeps the reader to want to read more. It creates a flow in the story. In this story, I don't see much of that flow. I am going to be completely honest and say that your first paragraph was almost unreadable. This is due to your enormous amount of detail in every single word. Now, don't get me wrong, detail is essential to writing. However, the placement of those details is more important. If you could place those details in such a way that creates a voice and flow to the writing, then your writing is golden. Readable, well-descriptive, nice work. Overall, be yourself in writing. Do not try to be the fanciest writers out there; do not try and copy their flow of writing, because that flow is very hard to recreate well.

I like it! but yeah the word choice is unnecessary in some parts - it really does feel like you're trying hard.
I'd slow down the pace a bit, and don't flood the reader with tons of futuristic techno-heaven concepts all at once (I used to do it all the time, trust me). put yourself in this world and really imagine everything about it.
