NEO-LUDDISM: ANOTHER FLAWED IDEOLOGY

It is an undeniable fact that technology is inherently uncontrollable, even history teaches us that. Technology must be completely abolished and the system dismantled. Neo-luddists however, like to believe that technology can be regulated, shaped or limited to a certain degree, to instead serve humanity and the natural environment. In reality, technology would continue to progress which would ultimately lead to ecocide and social control. Therefore, all technology must be destroyed.

"An animal caught in a trap would gnaw off its own leg to escape. What will you do?"

We live in a world under the increasing threat of total collapse due to the gradual destruction of the natural environment. Everyone knows about the dangers of millions of square-miles of forests being exploited and cut down, endless production of materialistic things that serve no other purpose but to feed the consumeristic minds of people, and the horrific mistreatment of animals and so forth.
However, no one wants radical change because people are too comfortable to give up their delusions and distractions because efficiency overpowers all else. All people do is cry out their eyes that our world has reached such devestation because of humanity. Now all that awaits us is the impending doom of societal collapse.

However, there is a solution. We must firstly realize that we have to strike at the core of the matter. Polite acts such as buying more eco-friendly food or reducing one's own carbon emissions will make no difference. I rather present more radical solutions. Although moving back to the wild and dismantling modern cities may not be popular amongst typical people, it is nevertheless worthy of consideration by thinking people.

"A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude."
- Aldous Huxley

This is reality

"To those who think that all this sounds like science fiction, we point out that yesterday's science fiction is today's fact. The Industrial Revolution has radically altered man's environment and way of life, and it is only to be expected that as technology is increasingly applied to the human body and mind, man himself will be altered as radically as his environment and way of life have been."

~ Theodore Kaczynski

Sometimes i think about how humans once used to live in the past and how much more thrilling life could be back then. I feel like we were born too late to explore the world. Too late see the sun set beneath the pillars of stone, too late to sail across vast and unknown oceans to entire continents that were waiting to be discovered. We were born too late to explore the unexplored.
Each time i go to bed i try to imagine myself in my head living an idyllic and calm life as a shepard in the mountains of northern italy, or as a fierce germanic warrior battling against the romans two-thousand years ago. Each day would be a new adventure, a new page in the book of your life.
Technology has made life mundande and monotonous. There is no frontier left to be discovered by humanity. The magic of ancient forests and unknown lands have been stripped away to instead make room for concrete jungles and commercial centers. We now even have satellite images of Earth revealing what should be discovered by one's own eyes in real life, not from looking at a picture. We now have modern transport systems that ties together all continents which supports globalization, ruining cultural and ethnic uniqueness.
Modern civilization has failed us, we must manifest our own destiny..

Thanks a lot to @wilderness_front for hosting the book discussion on Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel "Brave New World".
Looking forward to more of these discussions soon!

"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."

- Theodore John Kaczynski

At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land, and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, "Thus far and no farther." If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly bookish man, who wrote at the end of his life, "If i repent of anything it is likely to be my good behavior."

-Edward Abbey

"Part of the intimacy with nature that you acquire, is the sharpening of your senses. Not that your hearing or eyesight become more acute, but you notice things more. In city life you tend to be turned inward, in a way. Your environment is crowded with irrelevant sights and sounds, and you get conditioned to block most of them out of your consciousness. In the woods you get so that your awareness is turned outward, toward your environment, hence you are much more conscious of what goes on around you. For example, you’ll notice inconspicuous things on the ground, such as edible plants or animal tracks. If a human being has passed through and has left even just a small part of a footprint, you’ll probably notice it. You know what the sounds are that come to your ears: This is a birdcall, that is the buzzing of a horsefly, this is a startled deer running off, this is the thump of a pine cone that has been cut down by a squirrel and has landed on a log. If you hear a sound that you can’t identify, it immediately catches your attention, even if it’s so faint that it’s barely audible. To me this alertness, or openness of one’s senses, is one of the greatest luxuries of living close to nature. You can’t understand this unless you’ve experienced it yourself."

-Theodore John Kaczynski

If only you knew how bad things really are..

As soon as i finish my studies, i will work to my bones to fulfill my dream of living off the grid in complete isolation and in serene wilderness. I need to get away.
Modern society repels me. It seems false, like a facade pulled over it to hide the true reality. I want to experience the thrill of the hunt, i want to know what it is like to face an agiated hostile predator like a grizzly, i want to hike up the tallest mountain i can find and shout as loud as i can out of pure joy.
This life feels too artificial and fake, like it is going to collapse at any minute, revealing the raw nature of our world. I keep fantasizing about living in a post-apocalyptic scenario where nature overtakes the fake world built before, the concrete pavement crooked, shattered with vegetation bursting from the cracks underneath.
It does not make any sense to me how we have reached a point in time where nature is not even a part of most of people's everyday life. It is a never-ending nightmare, and i need to escape this hell before it kills me. Being stuck in society with a structured schedule that tells me when i have to be somewhere at a certain time every single day of the week is taking a severe toll on my mental health. I feel like i am running endlessly on a fucking hamsterwheel.
I want true freedom. I do not want to know what day it is. Neither do i want to know what weather it is going to be tomorrow, because everyday is a surprise. All i need to know is what chores needs to be taken care of, like needing to feed my hens and goats.
I need to get away from where i am as soon as i can before i go insane.
