"And yet, the words spoken by
the forest industry about the logging, preservation and growth of state
timber reserves was swallowed whole by the majority โ the majority,
that is, of those people who do not explore the woods or even gaze at
them from their car windows: the majority of those people who believe
any green area that is not a field to be a forest. All the media have swallowed the official lies. [...] Like Goebbels
used to say, any claim will be taken to be true if repeated often enough."

Remembering Martin Luther
(1483-1546)
Yesterday marked the anniversary of the death of Martin Luther, who passed away on February 18, 1546. While he is primarily remembered for sparking the Protestant Reformation, his influence stretches far beyond the walls of the church and into the very fabric of modern society and our connection to nature.
Interestingly, Lutherโs worldview also held a deep, grounded appreciation for the natural world. He often spoke of nature as a "second book". Seeing the hand of a creator in every tree and creature.
"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree."
It serves as a timeless reminder of hope and environmental stewardship, the idea that we have a responsibility to care for our planet and invest in the future, even when the outlook seems uncertain. Lutherโs "apple tree" remains a powerful symbol of quiet, persistent action for the sake of the earth.

Local communities once did have autonomy, but such autonomy becomes less and less possible as local communities become more enmeshed with and dependent on large-scale systems like public utilities, computer networks, highway systems, the mass communications media, the modern health care system.
Also operating against autonomy is the fact that technology applied in one location often affects people at other locations far away. Thus pesticide or chemical use near a creek may contaminate the water supply hundreds of miles downstream, and the greenhouse effect affects the whole world.
The system does not and cannot exist to satisfy human needs. Instead, it is human behavior that has to be modified to fit the needs of the system.
This has nothing to do with the political or social ideology that may pretend to guide the technological system. It is the fault of technology, because the system is guided not by ideology but by technical necessity.

continues at the current pace, human civilisation will collapse within a

I am guessing most of you have seen the situation with Iran and Israel.
I don't want to try to fear monger, or make anyone panic, but I quite literally think we are headed towards either a technocratic dystopia or the incoming collapse of the system.
Either there is a huge war, shit hits the fan, and it all leads to the collapse of the system as we know it, or if Iran and the rest of the countries opposing this new world order go down, the situation is not looking Bright.
Whatever the case is, get ready for big changes, be ready to survive if the lights go out, be ready to escape if the system makes it's control over the world tighter, be ready to resists the oncoming dystopia, or survive in a world without modern Convinces.

The concept of "mental health" in our society is defined largely by the extent to which an individual behaves in accord with the needs of the system and does so without showing signs of stress.

"It is important to recognize that a successful revolutionary
movement may start out as a tiny and despised group of "crackpots" who
are taken seriously by no one but themselves. The movement may remain
insignificant and powerless for many years before it finds its opportunity
and achieves success."

Today marks 1000 days since Ted Kaczynski died in prison. Quite Ironic that the man who wanted to be free in the wilderness died captive in a cell. May his soul rest in peace and his message Against technology live on.

Given a person who devotes much time and energy to the pursuit of goal X, ask yourself this: If he had to devote most of his time and energy to satisfying his bio-logical needs, and if that effort required him to use his physical and mental faculties in a varied and interesting way, would he feel seriously deprived because he did not attain goal X? If the answer is no, then the person's pursuit of a goal X is a surrogate activity.

"The whole texture of life is determined by society. Consider all the evils that are imposed on the individual by the system. To mention a few: air and water pollution; the threat of atomic war; overcrowding and traffic congestion; noise; bureaucratic red tape; the draft; destruction of the wilderness; the omnipresence of vulgar, intrusive, manipulative advertising; etcโฆ Furthermore, the individual living independently can at least reasonably attempt to alleviate his hardships. If he is cold he can make a fire or build a better hut. If game gets scarce he can try, at least, to find an area where it is more plentiful. His decisions count; he is not helpless. But what can the individual do about air pollution or overpopulation?" - Ted Kaczynski

The techno-industrial system wants us domesticated, docile and obedient. They don't want us to question the state of affairs. They want us depressed, anxious, obese and sick so they can sell us drugs to treat the problems they caused. They want us to buy the latest useless gadgets and sweatshop made clothes and shoes. Above all, they want us to fight amongst ourselves, to separate ourselves by race, gender and ideology, to distract us from what's really going on.
Will you give in, or will you resist?
