For all those (slightly misanthropic) individuals out there who are disgusted with this pathetic arrogant industrialized "civilization" and have a strong longing for pagan and/or ancient times and...



A note: some really clever guy pointed out how also last.fm/internet and so on are a part of this modern world, so this group would become in fact contradictory.

Let's say two things: first is that one can be disgusted about most of aspect of something without necessarily be against everything of it. Otherwise, here in this place, we're concerning sociological more than technological matters.

Second: before to argue, one should be able to understand of what he's talking about, what modern world is, for example, and other basic historical informations as well. "Why are you in front of a pc if you are so against the modern world" is so stupid as to say "Why are you using your car for work if you are so against world pollution".

So please, if you want to argue, do it with your brain turned on, and without silly statements like that.

A clarification is needed: we are not disgusted about *everything* new of course, like inventions etc., but our disgust is about the social degeneration of today. Too much TV, too many "realities". Internet modern? Even pottery was modern millenia ago, but has been quite a good invention. The disgust is not about good creations about human intellect, but about the collateral lost of earlier abilities. We should be better to preserve everything good we made in our cultural evolution, instead to forget and bury all the rest we don't care cause we are not able or willing to see.

    I think cars are over-rated as well. :) There's just so many of them.

    It's not about a car (and other material things), it's about wrong way of thinking.

    Cars for those who really need it, like for people who live in the countryside and using the car is the only way to get one place to another. But cars in cities are definitely wrong thing.

    "Why are you using your car for work if you are so against world pollution" - In fact, that is true. Using a individual device for transportation such as a car, in today's massive occupied cities, is a problem for ecology. But that's not all. The car has ego written all over it, has a sexual connotation, and worst of all, it's not even practical. It's just a merchandise, that the forces of market (through massive publicity campaigns from the car industry) makes you want one for personal flaunt, over the gain of using public transportation (which, if the right investments are made, is cleaner, faster, and cheaper). The car, among others, is one of the things that is wrong with the modern world.

    "Prior to industrialization, nearly everyone was condemned to a miserable life of constant, backbreaking labor, malnutrition disease, and an early death. Aren’t we so lucky that we live in modern times and have lots of leisure and an array of technological conveniences to make our lives easy? Today I think there are relatively few thoughtful, honest and well-informed people who still believe in this myth. To lose one’s faith in “progress” one has only to look around and see the devastation of our environment, the spread of nuclear weapons, the excessive frequency of depression, anxiety disorders and psychological stress, the spiritual emptiness of a society that nourishes itself principally with television and computer games... one could go on and on." -- Theodore J. Kaczynski

    As our understanding of the world improves, our ideological self-perspectives and understanding of ourselves wanes. "Slightly misanthropic" is certainly the term I'd use.

    What REALLY disgusts me about the modern world is my own life. I hate what my life has become. I'd give anything to relive my childhood.

    @bluebellinbloom "Better not to believe in any gods, but believe in ourselves"Oh, you mean, like Hitler and Stalin did? Being godless is class.

    Better not to believe in any gods, but believe in ourselves. Maybe then we will not be disgusted so much with this world, but spend more time improving it....
