>The conservatives are fools: They whine about the decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth. Apparently it never occurs to them that you can't make rapid, drastic changes in the technology and the economy of a society without causing rapid changes in all other aspects of the society as well, and that such rapid changes inevitably break down traditional values.

>>19441244
I think conservatives will see something like proliferating gender identities and locate the problem there -- in individual behavior -- but that might be more a product of social atomization in a broader sense. There's no real way for society to coordinate or manage these conflicts other than through the market, which includes a media market which creates fear about these changes (see right-wing tabloids). So, conservative paranoia and proliferating, atomized gender identities exist together in a field of tension both depending and opposing one another.

That is essentially the logic of economic substructure determining the political superstructure which reinforces the former. Women's different treatment in the early tribal society and then feudal and then capitalist society is a typical reflection of how the economic base has been influencing the political superstructure including the ideology. So the idea here is that the active political demand from LGBTQs comparing with relative silence during the feudal age is a reflection of the capitalist society where everyone has been atomized.

But, while the feudal stage was more advanced than the classic age in terms of social productivity, treatment in terms of religious tolerance, equality and individualism were worse. So the idea here is that the society doesn't always progress linearly to be more "advanced" but rather it’s just an adaption to economic substructure -- in the feudal age that demanded strong oppression. That is also why LGBTQ and the transformation of the conservative group into liberals (fundamentally) are not some random spawns but structural in capitalism. And it is not a surprise that capitalism worldwide has entered a crisis and oppression and inequality have reached the highest ratio since 1945.

Now, you could tell my idea is to enhance social equality and engage in redistribution, which is essentially a socialist job. But that would require the ceasing of identity politics (black vs. white, men vs. women, straight vs. gay) because identity politics transforms or externalizes the social class oppression into another form. That would also probably require that everyone "give up" something in return, so conservatives would have to cease oppression so others are not denied their pleasure and treat people with respect while the LGBTQ side would have to give up waving their banner and otherwise provoking the conservative impulse. Otherwise everyone will keep accelerating the car to the south to common ruin when they're supposed to go north to common prosperity.

He is not "anprim" on ideoligcal grounds, but his individal preference is that of paleolithic life. He understands his personal predilections are just that, and that puts him above every ideologue and narcissists in the political field.

It doesn't matter because anti-tech thought is invested in the destruction of the current techno-industrial world and social order. The planification of a post-revolution world is not of our concerns because we understand such planification is not simply prone to ideological biases, but made possible by a glaring error in the development of philosophy, such planification is simply not possible. It is incoherent with materialism, as human will is not a determinant, consciousness is passive-reactive and ideology exists à posteriori. We are determined as revolutionary agents and will focus our efforts towards actualizing our determinations. Those who are not are objective political ennemies and no energy should be wasted trying to 'convert' them, it would be a misunderstanding of how material conditions shape us.

This question makes no sense. Art is already separated from the creator by the time you encounter it. An artwork begins as an idea belonging to mind of the artist, and artistic creation—writing, sculpting, composing, &c.—is the process by which the artist transforms the internal idea into something external and separate from the mind i.e. something with an independent existence.

>147. To start with, there are the techniques of surveillance. Hidden video cameras are now used in most stores and in many other places, computers are used to collect and process vast amounts of information about individuals. Information so obtained greatly increases the effectiveness of physical coercion (i.e., law enforcement). Then there are the methods of propaganda, for which the mass communication media provide effective vehicles. Efficient techniques have been developed for winning elections, selling products, influencing public opinion. The entertainment industry serves as an important psychological tool of the system, possibly even when it is dishing out large amounts of sex and violence. Entertainment provides modern man with an essential means of escape. While absorbed in television, videos, etc., he can forget stress, anxiety, frustration, dissatisfaction. Many primitive peoples, when they don’t have work to do, are quite content to sit for hours at a time doing nothing at all, because they are at peace with themselves and their world. But most modern people must be constantly occupied or entertained, otherwise they get “bored,” i.e., they get fidgety, uneasy, irritable.

We hope that the stresses through which the system is likely to pass will cause it to break down, or at least will weaken it sufficiently so that a revolution against it becomes possible. If such a revolution occurs and is successful, then at that particular moment the aspiration for freedom will have proved more powerful than technology.

I'm shocked. I thought this manifesto would be Schizoposting but he articulates it really well.

>157. Assuming that industrial society survives, it is likely that technology will eventually acquire something approaching complete control over human behavior. It has been established beyond any rational doubt that human thought and behavior have a largely biological basis. As experimenters have demonstrated, feelings such as hunger, pleasure, anger and fear can be turned on and off by electrical stimulation of appropriate parts of the brain. Memories can be destroyed by damaging parts of the brain or they can be brought to the surface by electrical stimulation. Hallucinations can be induced or moods changed by drugs. There may or may not be an immaterial human soul, but if there is one it clearly is less powerful that the biological mechanisms of human behavior. For if that were not the case then researchers would not be able so easily to manipulate human feelings and behavior with drugs and electrical currents.

>158. It presumably would be impractical for all people to have electrodes inserted in their heads so that they could be controlled by the authorities. But the fact that human thoughts and feelings are so open to biological intervention shows that the problem of controlling human behavior is mainly a technical problem; a problem of neurons, hormones and complex molecules; the kind of problem that is accessible to scientific attack. Given the outstanding record of our society in solving technical problems, it is overwhelmingly probable that great advances will be made in the control of human behavior.

>159. Will public resistance prevent the introduction of technological control of human behavior? It certainly would if an attempt were made to introduce such control all at once. But since technological control will be introduced through a long sequence of small advances, there will be no rational and effective public resistance. (See paragraphs 127, 132, 153.)

>160. 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.

>163. Suppose the system survives the crisis of the next several decades. By that time it will have to have solved, or at least brought under control, the principal problems that confront it, in particular that of “socializing” human beings; that is, making people sufficiently docile so that heir behavior no longer threatens the system. That being accomplished, it does not appear that there would be any further obstacle to the development of technology, and it would presumably advance toward its logical conclusion, which is complete control over everything on Earth, including human beings and all other important organisms. The system may become a unitary, monolithic organization, or it may be more or less fragmented and consist of a number of organizations coexisting in a relationship that includes elements of both cooperation and competition, just as today the government, the corporations and other large organizations both cooperate and compete with one another. Human freedom mostly will have vanished, because individuals and small groups will be impotent vis-a-vis large organizations armed with supertechnology and an arsenal of advanced psychological and biological tools for manipulating human beings, besides instruments of surveillance and physical coercion. Only a small number of people will have any real power, and even these probably will have only very limited freedom, because their behavior too will be regulated; just as today our politicians and corporation executives can retain their positions of power only as long as their behavior remains within certain fairly narrow limits.

Social media proved to be a form of keeping us docile during this transition.
Normies on surface gazing at their echo chambers.
But it's already a decade and a half (or so( and people are get uneasy with this Social Media tech. They will soon come with something more enticing.

More and more we see that the number of billionaires are getting stable as the average living standards of the untrained worker plummets. "Professions" like online food order delivery and Uber driver proves that work condition and salaries are deteriorating.

When someone tells me they like Ted K I immediately dismiss them as halfwits. There's a nearly 100 year old tradition of saying everything he has said but more rigorously researched and systematized - the only reason you virgin faggots like him is because he's le based deranged man + he explains in 5th grader's English why modernity has problems. Read a fucking book you niggers.

I cannot respect Ted because he is willing to let billions die only because his psychological needs aren't met
He even flat out admits that technological society could manage to meet these needs eventually, but it wouldn't be "dignifying".

In my opinion, his anti-technological stance is a form of escapism, as he believes he would find true meaning in a pre-industrial society.
In reality, he would be unlikely to live to see the age of 10 in such a society, statistically speaking.

I've read the manifesto yesterday and I can say is: it's not clear.

He certainly has a nice criticism there, but offers no solution.
He rants against communism and propose some sort of anarchism, but one anarchism independent of technology. For the more we produce tech, more we depend on it.

I heard he wrote an essay against AnPrims, so I am not sure.

>That would also probably require that everyone "give up" something in return, so conservatives would have to cease oppression so others are not denied their pleasure and treat people with respect while the LGBTQ side would have to give up waving their banner and otherwise provoking the conservative impulse.
Your childish utopian shit is a joke. Political queerness is the point. It is a jihadist religion.
>“Religion always leads to rhetorical despotism,” Leto said. “Before the Bene Gesserit, the Jesuits were the best at it...Of course, they do not begin by deluding themselves with it...It leads to self-fulfilling prophecy and justifications for all manner of obscenities...It shields evil behind walls of self-righteousness which are proof against all arguments against the evil...It feeds on deliberately twisted meanings to discredit opposition...The Jesuits called that ‘securing your power base.’ It leads directly to hypocrisy which is always betrayed by the gap between actions and explanations. They never agree...Ultimately, it rules by guilt because hypocrisy brings on the witch hunt and the demand for scapegoats...Power bases are very dangerous because they attract people who are truly insane, people who seek power only for the sake of power. Do you understand?”

To not 'wave the banner' is to renounce coercive power, which alphabet people will not do willingly. Casting out the 'politically queer' is an act of self-preservation. It is an abuse of language to call it oppression; you might as well say that criminals are 'oppressed' when they are punished for knowingly breaking the law.

When someone tells me they dislike TK I immediately dismiss them as midwit academics who must cling onto approved thinkers to reassert their social worth. There's a nearly 100 year old tradition talking about this in a rigorously researched and systemized way. Take Bourdieu for example, take Debord. Fuck off you self important petit bourgeois elitist. You're not interested in the struggle if the only complain you have is trivial urbanite bullshit such as whether or not his writing is high brow enough for your pretentious clique of neutered academics.

Clearly you haven't even understood the basis of political materialism. Ponder this next time you're taking a shit: "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it."

I assume you cannot respect an animal whose behavior is caused by its needs not being met? A caged animal harming the zoo employee is morally wrong?

Hypocritical urbanite idealist, you are so ideologically removed from reality you failed to see the glaring incoherence of your moralism.

>his anti-tech stance is a form of escapism
nothing says escapism like radical materialism and pure strategy, right? Lenin the escapist. Also your statistics is plain wrong, I suggest you read Kaczynski's works on primitivism, which is grounded on actual statistics, simultaneously dismantling the romanticization of primitivism and its ideological counterpart that is built upon no argumentation beyond old = bad.

>I cannot respect a man actualizing his will
We get it, you're domesticated and the only values worth exalting are those related to domestication.
