Using the Internet to proclaim being anti-tech

so if we lived like them and used our free time to develop technology, rather than bake in the sun picking our nuts and waiting for rat traps. we would be hurting ourselves long term?

Yes because we know it will be our downfall. Civ and tech are inherently destructive.

For the record I’ve never watched any video you’ve posted, and I’m sure the sentiment amongst other forum members is mutual.

Then it’s no wonder your not understanding my arguments.

It will be? Tech has been around for thousands of years; I can’t wait any longer for the downfall.

I once used a hammer to build a dog house.

Did you watch the vid I posted? Just because civ isn’t crashing at the moment doesn’t mean it won’t eventually fall. Every other civilization has collapsed. Why do you think ours is any different?

Strawman.

No, I understand perfectly, they’re just stupid. The reality is my technology is not advanced enough to load videos at higher speeds on my computer, that my tech is not tech enough to learn about being anti-tech, so I’m not going to waste time to load videos to learn why I just wasted my time loading videos. Get it? Yeah, I think it’s pretty stupid too.

So if it is our downfall then what are your feeling’s towards tools used in your example of tribal people using traps? isn’t that a form of technology? what about the production of clothing? isn’t a bow and arrow, spear, knife, etc… a form of technological advancement achieved over time? and like many have asked… why are you using your computer then?

You’re out of your league, William. Delete your post and get out while you still can.

Haha! Can we just respond to all of F4M’s posts with a simple ‘touché’ from now on?

I understand that F4M uses the videos as part of his argument–as opposed to using them as support. However, am I the only one that finds that ironic?

Hunter-gatherers’ tools aren’t the same as the tech used by civilized man.

So you’re drawing arbitrary lines in seperating technology? Where does it stop? Are we talking about everything up to the Industrial Revolution, or simply things that use electricity?

When I say tech I mean all the tech which was invented after the creation of civilization incld. agriculture. This is why you need to watch the videos I post.

I’m starred

Every time I’ve brought the topic up no one answers: WHAT’S WRONG ABOUT WANTING TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT??? What’s wrong w/ living on your own outside of civilization?

Hunter-gatherers PROVE anarcho-capitalism correct. They have 100% free markets, no states and no aggression. Everywhere there’s technology and civilization there’s statism.

Nothing. WHY DON’T YOU GO DO THAT ALREADY?

I find this thread fascinating.

^^^ This.

Nothing. WHY DON’T YOU GO DO THAT ALREADY?

WHY DON’T YOU GO AHEAD AND LEAVE THE STATE IF YOUR ANTI-STATE???
