    I’m ready to move to a commune. But like… not a hippie Luddite commune that shirks all technology. Just one that isn’t fucking insane about the tech in their lives. basically one that rewinds a bit back towards maybe the early to mid 2000s. Where we had a of the tech in a still mostly uncorrupted form.

    Its like “the village” for people who are utterly exhausted by corporate greed. Someone get M. Night Shammalamma or whatever on the phone.

      I work in tech, and literally have had this conversation multiple times with my other friends that work in tech. We are all completely exhausted.

      An interesting, to me, aside: The luddites were not, as is commonly taught, anti-technology. They were protesting against the consolidation of money/power that technology was making possible. We don’t want to teach class warfare though.
