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."

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.

"We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature."
-Henry David Thoreau

Typical people are not like us. They need the influence and dependance on others to even remotely comprehend why things are the way they are. The difference is that people like us have always had this nagging feeling at the back of the head telling us that something is terribly wrong. That feeling has always felt very natural and familiar to us.
I walk through populated urban areas with pure disgust on my face. It feels repulsive and unnatural. People who have never experienced this before will never truly understand what it is like.
Typical people need guidance, but we must come to the terms and accept that we are different and we have always been different.

"There is no law that says we have to go to work every day and follow our employer’s orders. Legally there is nothing to prevent us from going to live in the wild like primitive people or from going into business for ourselves. But in practice there is very little wild country left, and there is room in the economy for only a limited number of small business owners. Hence most of us can survive only as someone else’s employee."

"I suggest that one of the biggest mistakes modern American revolutionaries make is that, in the name of "tolerance," they let anyone and everyone of a vaguely rebellious disposition join their movements. The result is that they get diluted, or even swamped, by large numbers of make-believe revolutionaries for whom rebellion is only a game. Even if it sounds "intolerant," revolutionaries must form a movement that is exclusive to the extent that it incorporates none but real revolutionaries. Only in this way can the movement have cohesion and the capacity for vigorous action".

"A revolutionary movement must have courage. A revolution in the modern world will be no dinner party. It will be deadly and brutal. You can be sure that when the technoindustrial system begins to break down, the result will not be the sudden conversion of the entire human race into flower children. Instead, various groups will compete for power. If the opponents of technology prove toughest, they will be able to assure that the breakdown of the technosystem becomes complete and final. If other groups prove tougher, they may be able to salvage the technosystem and get it running again. Thus, an effective revolutionary movement must consist of people who are willing to pay the price that a real revolution demands: They must be ready to face disaster, suffering, and death".
- Theodore John Kaczynski | Road to Revolution

New technologies often appear optional when first introduced, but eventually society restructures itself in such a way that these technologies become necessary just to survive. Take the internet for example, it would be almost impossible to get by without using the internet. Even if one completely eliminates internet usage in his personal life, most jobs still require internet usage. There is simply no way of getting around the internet. The same would apply for transhumanism. Likely even moreso, since the changes brought by transhumanism are even greater than those which were brought by the internet. Even if in the highly unlikely scenario that transhumanism was optional, due to it increasing the efficiency of the human by such a large magnitude, individuals who embraced transhumanism will be propagandized as superior, with those remaining in their natural forms socially ostracized. We see this today as those without the newest belongings, especially those that are technological, as less than others.
