In an article for Activist Post titled “7 Future Methods of Mind Control,”
Nicholas West explored some of the possible ways we might be manipulated in the future, by a small and elite group of people, most likely using the technology
of tomorrow to coerce, control and contain.
West writes, “The mind control of the future goes straight into direct
programming of the digital mind.” The seven methods West warns us about are:
1. Surveillance and gadgets: West sees both surveillance and the obsession
with gadgetry a means by which of controlling the masses, pointing to
television and video games as having massive impact on how we view our
world. He points to the Internet, computers, phones, tablets, and more as
the tools of direct manipulation of our lives. Mind/computer interfacing is
already happening now.
2. Mind-controlled robots and drones: The merging of man and machine,
as evident by brain mapping research. Are there possibly thoughtcontrolled drones in our future?
3. Magnetic manipulation: See Chapter 8 for the many means by which our
environment is effecting and influencing our thoughts, actions, and
behaviors.
4. Implants and ingestibles: Will we be controlled via implants and chips
that enter the human body through our food, medicines, and other means?
5. Genetic and neuro-engineering: A quote by MIT neuro-engineer Ed
Boyden sums it up: “If we take seriously the idea that our minds are
implemented in the circuits of our brains, then it becomes a top priority to
understand how to engineer brains for the better.” Maybe also for the
worse?
6. Neuroscience: The human brain is the final frontier—and controlling it is
the Holy Grail of research. Unfortunately, this can be used for evil as well
as good.
7. Direct upload/hack: Brain hacking is no longer the stuff of science fiction
novels, as we become the software-based humans that Ray Kurzweil,
author of The Singularity Is Near and current director of engineering at
Google, warned us about. “Humans will develop the means to instantly
create new portions of ourselves, either biological or nonbiological,”
Kurzweil writes in The Singularity Is Near."

“Finally, one learns that boredom is a disease of civilization. It seems to me that what boredom mostly is is that people have to keep themselves entertained or occupied, because if they aren’t, then certain anxieties, frustrations, discontents, and so forth, start coming to the surface, and it makes them uncomfortable. Boredom is almost nonexistent once you’ve become adapted to life in the woods. If you don’t have any work that needs to be done, you can sit for hours at a time just doing nothing, just listening to the birds or the wind or the silence, watching the shadows move as the sun travels, or simply looking at familiar objects. And you don’t get bored. You’re just at peace.”

SHOULD WE FEAR ACCELERATIONISM? - WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANTI-TECH REVOLUTION AND ACCELERATIONISM?
There is a distinguishable difference the anti-tech movement must learn to understand. Deliberately trying to speed up the collapse of industrial society already in the early stages of revolution through chaos, violence, or destabilization is reckless and counterproductive. The technological system is fragile but also highly adaptive, and that shocks which mean to “accelerate” its breakdown would more likely strengthen it by giving governments justification to expand surveillance, repression, and technological control.
Uncontrolled collapse without ideological direction is also to be feared if our goal is to reclaim our autonomy.
WHAT DO WE DO INSTEAD?
Hit when and where it hurts. When the system presents itself most vulnerable, is when we strike against the core of technological and institutional power. For example, targeting the power grid, corporations et cetera.

"No, what worries me is that I might in a sense adapt to this environment and come to be comfortable here and not resent it anymore. And I am afraid that as the years go by that I may forget, I may begin to lose my memories of the mountains and the woods and that's what really worries me, that I might lose those memories, and lose that sense of contact with wild nature in general. But I am not afraid they are going to break my spirit." -Ted Kaczynski

"We too are disgusted at the present grossly overpopulated state of the world and we agree that it is necessary to reduce the earth’s population as much as possible. But the best way to reach a goal is not always to head directly toward it.
What the earth’s population will be 50 or 100 years from now depends mainly on the form of society that will then exist. The present economically oriented form of society, based on industrialism, tends inexorably to grow to the limit of the available resources. By creating new genetically altered plants, or maybe through some type of artificial photosynthesis, this form of society will greatly increase the world’s food producing capacity and will allow or encourage its population to grow to the limit of that capacity[...]. So if the present form of society survives, the world that it creates will be a horrible one.
Therefore the important goal is to destroy the present form of society and its industrial base." - Ted Kaczynski, Letters on Population Control

"The university intellectuals play an important role in carrying out the System's trick. Though they like to fancy themselves independent thinkers, the intellectuals are the most oversocialized, the most conformist, the tamest and most domesticated, the most pampered, dependent, and spineless group today. As a result, their impulse to rebel is particularly strong. But, because they are incapable of independent thought, real Rebellion is impossible for them. Consequently they are suckers for the System's trick, which allows for them to irritate people and enjoy the illusion of rebelling without evee having to challenge the system's badic values"

1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.
2. The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it may eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy.
3. If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the system grows the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later.
4. We therefore advocate a revolution against the industrial system. This revolution may or may not make use of violence; it may be sudden or it may be a relatively gradual process spanning a few decades. We can’t predict any of that. But we do outline in a very general way the measures that those who hate the industrial system should take in order to prepare the way for a revolution against that form of society. This is not to be a political revolution. Its object will be to overthrow not governments but the economic and technological basis of the present society.

THE COLLAPSE OF THE SYSTEM MIGHT TAKE A WHILE
If and when the system collapses, whether it does so spontaneously or through revolution, there will be violence, and that physical force will play an important role in determining what group, what ideology comes out on top.
However, we cannot confidently say that civilization will go down in the reasonably near future. Just the elimination of the technoindustrial system is very problematic, and we must exert ourselves to the utmost in an effort to assure that it will happen. However, we must not be reckless, impatient and jeopardize our freedom for short-term satisfaction of commiting random acts of violence in the early stages we find ourselves in. It is paramount our movement prepares itself and is ready to hit where it hurts when the world tension is at an all-time high, inner contradictions within the system more evident than ever before.
