I've been thinking a lot lately about how unnatural modern life feels, and I don't just mean the obvious stuff like degeneracy or globalism. I mean the deeper, harder-to-articulate sense that something is fundamentally wrong with the way we live now, like we've stepped outside of the natural order and are paying the price, even if we don't realize it yet.For most of human history, people lived in small, tight-knit communities, worked with their hands, knew their place in the world, and had a direct relationship with the land.Life was hard, but it was real. Now we sit in climate-controlled boxes, consume endless media, eat fake food, and pretend that this is progress. We've traded purpose for comfort, meaning for convenience, and community for "individual freedom."And what do we have to show for it? Record levels of mental illness, broken families, mass immigration, and a generation of people who can't even define what a man or a woman is. We've built a society that actively despises everything that made us strong in the first place, and somehow we're still expected to believe this is the peak of human civiization.I'm not saying we can just go back to the way things were, but I do think we need to start seriously asking what's worth keeping and what needs to be burned down. Because if we keep going in this direction, I don't see how it ends well.>modernity>comfort>decay>repeatAre we too far gone, or is there still a way to course-correct?

>>542022292not only are we these kind of dumb ape people whose natural spot in the order is "hunter gatherers living in caves" but our population has FAR exceeded any level that would be sustainable without technologyand on top of all of this, if you look at what we think we know of human history it's these extremely long stretches where fucking nothing happens at all for "advancement", it was we don't know how many years exactly between using stones as tools and figuring out this copper shit actually melts into liquid you can mold if you heat it enough, then thousands of years of fuck all afterin less than 200 years we've gone from electricity to now, and in less than 100 the global population has quadrupled to where 10% OF ALL HUMANS TO EVER LIVE IN THE MILLION YEAR HISTORY OF THE SPECIES ARE ALL ALIVE AT ONCEso yeah, our physiology and psychology has no fucking clue how to cope with this
>>542022292You are food that is talks back.They just casually trashed everyone's genome that breathes atmosphere. You better hope there is some fire. Epstein broke up with us after OWS.
>>542022526Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?This guy's been talked about for years.Are people still talking about this guy?This creep?That is unbelievable.
>>542022514our physiology and psychology has no fucking clue how to cope with thisyeah this is closer to what I was getting at. not “past good, present bad” so much as the rate and scale of change being completely alien to what humans adapted around.the part I can’t figure out is whether technology itself is the problem or whether our social structures just never caught up with it
>>542022526>You are food that is talks back.heh, you know why dogs like squeaky toys, rightsome dogs, they'll destroy it right away to shut it up, some dogs though, some dogs will sit there slowly making it make interesting sounds for as long as possible...
>>542022514Agreed. There are simply too many fucking people on this planet. We are just parasites overtaking the host.
It started feeling normal after world war two when Television made it normal. Synthetic modern life exists because and for Television. Boomers have never known a world without Television. Their entire reality is defined by and subject to Television. There is no world outside Television to Boomers. They were weaned on Television, had Television in their schools, had Television at every job they've had, and put Television in every room in their house. And this was BEFORE smartphones, by the way. Even by 2000 the world had become completely subjugated to moving pictograms generated by Jews. Boomers had a choice. Around 1980 when they were given a choice between uncomfortable, unsatisfying and difficult reality with President Jimmy Carter or the fake world with Television Star Ronald Reagan. Reagan won by the largest margin in history, and would finance this fake world with millions of dollars in new debt Boomers leave to their children.Jimmy Carter told Americans life was terrible in 1979 when Iran was fucking us during the Hostage Crisis. President Carter made the brave decision to not fight them. It was humiliating, but spared Boomers the pain of another extended military conflict that wouldn't result in anything good. When Reagan had the Hostages released through his backdoor Iran-Contra Deal, America's soul was sold to money and that's what Boomers have a lot of. Their children won't.Boomers do not care. Personally, they have no ego and must experience all emotions through Television. All the main legacy channels have the same basic Trust The Government, Trust The Plan, Trust Israel message. They do not care. They will be gone in 5 years and will not have to suffer the consequences.
>>542022292People are not built to feel indifferent towards each other, or to be around strangers (without making friends or enemies) en masse. When the vast, vast majority of people you see in a day are strangers towards which you feel indifferent, it comes with a psychic cost.
>>542022665>the rate and scale of change being completely alien to what humans adapted aroundyeah that's the bit that's fucking with us; tech I don't think CAN inherently be bad itselfwhether it's bad with our natures, however, is another matter>our social structures just never caught up with itthey may not be able to for our base inherent natures anyway but it's off the charts for how accelerated it is for what we're used to collectively>>542022710overpopulation was never about "available land"
>whether it's bad with our natures, however, is another matterconsider nuclear, it's not nuclear tech itself that's the problem, it's nuclear tech in the hands of incompetent humans that's 100% of the issue
>>542022292When mass immigration started. It's completely unnatural.
>>542022794>Reagan won by the largest margin in history, and would finance this fake world with millions of dollars in new debt Boomers leave to their children.supposedly, allegedly, Reagan never intended to run at all, until he was paid a visit by a former CIA director, who was suddenly his running mate
We are at the end of a cycle. The current order is over and a new one hasn’t been born yet. It’s birth will likely be bloody and painful, and the new system may not even have much room for humans. It is going to be an interesting few decades. It’s an honour, in a strange way, to be a witness to a momentous moment in history.
>>542023194*who just happened to leave a bunch of former/sitting/future presidents/candidates mystery envelopes to be distributed at his funeral while they were all at the same place
>>542022885it comes with a psychic costyeah. weird part is we’re around more people than any generation before us while actually knowing fewer of themmaybe that’s part of the mismatch too. maximum contact, minimum obligation
