What did he actually want to happen? What would his ideal society look like?
I agree with his views on environmentalism and conservation of the environment. I agree with what he said about leftists and conservatives but I don’t understand what he wanted to do fully.
Did he want to turn the clock back to 1800 and leave it at that? What technology is acceptable and what isn’t? Is a washing machine or a gas cooker ok for him? Or the printing press?
I don't think he had a serious plan to make it happen, he just recognized a number of problems and probably didn't think they were solvable, his manifesto and actions seemed very nihilistic to me.
I’m pretty sure he wanted us to go back to living like cavemen
The tone of his essay imo shows that he did think things were solvable, after a fashion anyway and a lot of booms.
>What would his ideal society look like?
If you've read his manifesto, you should know that he admits it is impossible to know how a post-revolutionary society will look like.
>I don’t understand what he wanted to do fully
Accelerate the collapse of industrial society. If you want to know more about how that might take place and why it is actually a real possibility, I'd strongly recommend pic related.
>What technology is acceptable and what isn’t?
That would be determined by post-revolutionary conditions
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...
He wanted to alert society to the perils of technology and he was right.
We can have tech, we just need to be aware of how bad it can be for us.
Is it the opinion of uncle TEDfags that the ship (of society) is bascially running without a captain? ie it's out of control bascially- the system ahs tis needs and those at the top find ways of satiating it?
the virus fiasco could support this view
