living like mad max would be better than work 8h/day
but act for a just cause, it can be tribalism, beeing independant of the society, local exchange system, etc.. would be better than beeing an empty box full of rage & better than living like mad max

Balkanisation is not a bad thing
And if "they" attack ? Defend
Not like us soldiers who pee on taliban dead bodies, but like a man that defend his territory

don't masturbate on an antifa & 2 cops dead bodies
Maybe that was necessary for opening some eyes, but that would be better if not

we do need to scale down society in some ways, but chaos is never good

only people who barely have anything to lose can think like that

living like mad max doesn't sound so good when half your family has to die for it

but maybe it would be more spiritually healthy overall

likely would be, simply from the removal of the evil

living in community would be better
hunt for your own tribe, build for your own tribe, defend your own tribe
this is the way of men, to my thoughts
Cannot be a 400 M people tribe

boycott the society would be a solution not to generate chao and discord

violence is the last of the solutions

but i understand what you mean

another thing

the way things were isn't the way they necessarily need to be

the way we live now, its got its merits

the focus should be on the good things that small scale living or older living fostered

of course that means figuring out "what is good" and that is a not insignificant problem for the godless

I think modern way of life could be used, not for PURE business, but for nobles things

modernity a scaffolding necessary to birth the internet

now the scaffolding must be removed

internet integrated into human scale life

I think fantasy can really help here

ultimately whatever visions are in it

come from inspiration in humans

which has truth regardless of its use or interpretation by the recipient

e.g. "technobarbarian" style stuff

is technology the product of scale or of individual genius?

scale within a sufficiently high iq pop

that's what one would think automatically

but is that really so?

that's just my gut

maybe we are reversing cause and effect

my gut too

I'm open to argument

scale and high iq base populations do not on their own create ideas

like the chinese

does it help? Undoubtedly

a large population and high iq average means the right end of the curve is suited for great achievement

but genius is more than that, though high IQ is probably a necessity

actually I think first we have to address; is technology, progress etc. the product of scale effects or of individuals?

as far as I can see, history is a history of great men
