True. You should instead take inspiration from someone who actually lived innawoods with no help.

He will be regarded as a prophet in 50 years' time.

>muh power process

It’s fucking LAUGHABLE that you think his manifesto is useful or meaningful or eye openeing in any way. For one, there’s zero empirical data in the whole thing, his “power process” psychobabble has no empirical backing (and the power process is the basis for the whole book, LOL), and two a basic cost benefit analysis of industrial society shows its obviously worth it.

EVEN IF what he was saying is true, modern rates of mental illness were elevated by industrial society, it wouldn’t follow that we get rid of industrial society all together. It’s such a laughable proposition I’m not sure why this board takes it seriously (wait I know, you’re all underachieving chip on your shoulder contrarians who want to feel like you’re more enlightened than everyone else), it’s also particularly hilarious because there’s tons of non industrialized societies RIGHT NOW that we can observe and see how brutal and vicious life is.

Here’s the life that awaits you in a non industrial society: Half of you don’t make it beyond being a toddler, the half that do grow up to have a dozen kids, half of them die horrible deaths to diseases you don’t understand (and understanding it with some sort of formal system would be against “the power process” so you’re not allowed to do it), then you grow old with all sorts of aches and pains and you die of a horrible disease you don’t understand. LOL.

You people are abject fucking retards that spend your lives staring at screens reading diatribes written by depressed losers and you say that your life would have meaning if someone destroyed the screens and the pipes and the antennas around you. LOL. The truth is you’d be a depressed genetic abomination in primitive society and your tribesmen would kill you for being weird. Now fuck off with your Kaczynski bullshit and go outside.
