when someone’s unveiled his contradictions.
How is it any more contradictory then living inside a state while proclaiming to be anti-state?
Either you are anti-tech because, 1) technology is a tool used for various means, good and bad, but was not created with bad intentions, or you believe 2) that technology is inherently bad and against the individual and serves no purpose to help humanity.
I’m anti-tech because tech is used primarily as an instrument to keep us in control. There’s a huge reason why the gov is actively involved in creating new technology. What other reason would it have?
You are also anti-civ because you believe, 1) society and culture is bad because it relies on interdependence of individuals and the division of labor to coexist together, 2) civ has some bad qualities and you feel the fallibility makes it inherently bad without redemption, or 3) civilization is always bad and against the individuals full development.
I’m anti-civ because civ is collectivist by its very nature, leads to the creation of states and poisons us. Take a look at how much healthier, happier and non-aggressive hunter-gatherers are than us. Primitive people are also way freer.
I want to leave civ and homestead in the woods. I want to be 100% self-sufficient. What’s wrong with that?
It’s most like choices 2 for tech and 3 for civ in your case. If this is true, explain why the world around us is bad without redemption and we should (as humanity) immediately rely on a non-technological (without tools and advancements) age that would resort to half the world’s population dying off, and why all these advancements in science and industry are hampering our development, and how any bad qualities outweigh the good.
Why should I care about others esp. when it’s not in my interest to? People will never do anything against their interest unless they’re forced to. If they want to learn survivalist skills and primitive living then let them. Why should I go out of my way for anyone but myself?
