Waste of time read pynchon instead

It's the Yea Forums equivalent of watching Lynch flicks on your Iphone

Kacyznskians are utter morons.

>-ians
as if any of them were ideologues. you misunderstand his works. couldn't care less about the man or his life story, all I care about is freedom and I'm lucky enough to have the mental capacity to apprehend freedom unidealistically.

>you misunderstand his works.
How so?

Sure, bro. Keep following the infinite of human agency.

The irony is that your brain is already reduced to said grey goo indicated by the neo-Christian values that you desperately cling to. You could very easily learn how to use modern technology but instead you choose to read a bitter commie Polack because you refuse to give up your outdated understanding of freedom and spirit and he justifies it in his pessimistic writings.

Pynchon fucking sucks.

You should try actually reading him if you are going to talk about him.

>projection
I don't read him, and it is your perspective that is close to neo-Christianity.
Nice try at flinging shit though. Please tell us more about salvation from Technology through subjective use of technology. You are truly a profit.

>you could be reading books that train you to utilize modern technology better effectively

you seem like every other tech-optimist and probably haven't read teddy k. technology will not solve your problems, boomer. time and time again tech solves one problem and creates two more. think about all the wasted energy going into electric cars, ai, massive highways, etc. all so we can sleep at the wheel and not pay for gas. lmao we solved this problem with trains long ago. infact we were so smart before that we didn't even need cars to get around because our cities were so well designed that you could walk across it in 10-15 minutes. if you were travelling long distance you get on the train.

>Kaczynski
2 bit af

I also recommend reading Ellul. I am not a devotee of either but I think their ideas are interesting and somewhat useful for understanding the world a little bit. Your criticism of Kaczynski as Neo-Christian is somewhat apt as all luddism strikes me as smacking of Calvinism in its asceticism. That might be my modern and cultural perspective speaking though. Also any appeals to 'human freedom' or whatever hogwash don't catch my ear--seems empty. What does interest me are the ways a qualitative change in technical approaches to human problems has lead (or must lead) to certain types of societies. I am not sure Ellul has his horse before his cart in this regard. Kaczynski i like mostly for his pessimism and his clear but dismal understanding of the effectiveness of democracy to steer human affairs.

>You should try actually reading him if you are going to talk about him.
Answer >it is your perspective that is close to neo-Christianity.
Are you serious? I don't assert this intangibility of the spirit and separate being from technology (or capitalize either) like you do. Those things are neo-Christian.

>technology will not solve your problems
No, but knowing how to use modern technology is a major stepping stone towards solving them. The next step is learning how to monetize off your knowledge, and then learning how to invest. But I doubt his readers are even capable of getting past the first step.

GET FUCKED TED

His analysis of the problems seems pretty good, his solutions less so. Like Marx.

Not walking through streets filled with horse manure in a town of a 100k is the reason the modern world is bad.

All sorts read Ted. He's a smart guy. Unfortunately anarchists do tend to kill people though.

Hes a more coherent and thorough and rigorous thinker than Kaczynski tho

>He's a smart guy.
then why couldn't he get a gf?

People always say the diagnosis is good but his solution is not. What is a good solution in your opinion?

> the brainlet that can’t read a fucking pamphlet
Have you even read it? The majority of tech companies aren’t explicitly helping society, the majority of ML is for optimizing ads — they implicitly get applied in the medical field, but they aren’t the driving industry. Companies like Flatiron Health aren’t even in the same rank as FB and Google.

>implying the analysis and the problem are separate
He perceives problems only because he is analyzing from a terribly narrow and outdated perspective.

>ads aren't beneficial to society

okay. I like how you can completely ignore all the good that comes from development and just focus on the frivolous as if it was some black mark on society

>people don't speak up
>people with wealth don't invest in helping them
>people demonstrate themselves as being hostile to new things
>people who embrace new things don't invest in helping them
That's how it works. No one owes you anything just for existing. Maybe clean your act up and people will care about you again.

Depends on your flavor.

>Kaczynski audiobook
Who narrated it? It would have been neat if he had but I suppose that's impossible.

Severe autism.

I’m not a socialist, so I’m not retarded. I also don’t care that tech companies have my history logged, I’m using a product without explicitly paying for it — they are doing me a favor. Still, to call tech benevolent is dishonest — to allow them to exist without being checked is being an ignorant anarcho-capitalist. By moderating, I don’t mean splitting them up — that’s extremely stupid and only the ignorant support that.

Some inmates (like Kemper, famously) read audiobooks, Ted should have been given the same opportunity.

We have the duty to explore the universe. Until aliens appear, we are the only consciousness, the only being that might understand the complexity, the full beauty, the sublime awe of creation. Our descendents must fill the universe with intelligent awareness.
But for now perhaps we will suffer and we walk a hard, narrow path. One where misstep might end in death, in consumption by a consciousless AI overmind, or unimaginably worse. Yet we must not retreat to ancient pastoralism. We must thread the needle of the future. Take those technologies that accomplish that divine goal. Avoiding those that might destroy us or strip away our humanity. Becoming the elder race or like unto Amish with nanomachines and spaceships.

The 90s were so long ago and everything is better now?

Yeah that's how it works.

I'm glad I wasn't raised by a shitty family or in a shithole country.

>Unfortunately anarchists do tend to kill people though.
barely. Niggers kill way more people every year but everyone pretends like it doesn't happen.

sounds like he's uncomfortable and in a echo-y room
some inmates probably throat fucked his voice

Now this is a spooked post

also hate how the faggot interviewer is trying to climb on top of him with his rude tone

Everyone already knows; you're on Yea Forums. Stop obsessing.

Put up or shut up, Stirner.

I don't necessarily disagree with you but technophilia, obsession with progress and human vs. nature are the absolute height of 'neo-Christian values'.

Required watching.
TL;DW: No, your utopian future-tech will not save the techno-capital society.

god I wish that were me

lmao sounds like McKenna

What's wrong with that? He hated anprims.

Nothing is stopping you user

This man in my country he is everything.

His take on leftism is pretty cringe

What are some books about losing faith in your heroes?

If the system doesn't collapse soon that's exactly what will happen.

Who to read next guys?

>problems technology has created
Like what?

Uncle Ted will always remain soft in my eyes because he refuses to read Mein Kampf. what a pussy faggot.

the greeks, obviously

Why'd you post a picture of Weird Al?

Inability to leave your nation without throwing away everything and traveling to a remote region where it is too inconvenient for park rangers to arrest you.

tarantino flicks

Technology made it possible for nations to be larger, for people to have more belongings, and for people to take all their belongings with them across farther distances, so I'm not sure how the first half of your past applies. Not sure how the latter half is a "problem" either except if you're a criminal.
