ANTI-TECH APOSTLES🛠️

If only you knew how bad things really are..

"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 https://www.thetedkarchive.com/library/ted-kaczynski-ted-kaczynski-s-low-tech-lifestyle

"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

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..

"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

"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

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.

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.

The anti-tech organization @wilderness_front on Instagram is having a book discussion on Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel "Brave New World" the 20th of June, 1pm PST / 8pm GMT. Everyone is welcome to join to freely discuss the book and its themes surrounding existentialism, the future, anti-nature sentiments. Make sure to have atleast read what the book entails and who the author is. The call will be hosted on Zoom. Sign up here (optional): forms.gle/7ivcRHcgiP4ciVHW7 Hosted by: wildernessfront.com

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.
