Zoomer here. I actually grew up without a tv or computer until I was a teenager, even though my family was well off. I didn't have a phone until I was 17. I am married and fully intend to raise my family (married and child on the way) without electronics more complex then a radio. I shall have to see how it goes, but having economic prospects that are thoroughly in the toilet will I think promote this. I work with my hands and chose that path based on listening/reading the DR since I was in highschool. I don't think we can all make it, but perhaps those that will need to have the choice made for them in some way. I myself am to far down my path to change, what with a child coming and all. I must now embrace trying to return to this more simple, natural way of organizing my family and community. Though I now have a family, supporting them successfully has put me in the vanguard in a way that being single would not have.

[@Daimo83]

It's funny isn't it how as soon as a technology is invented there's a rush to give it to everyone. What if there were limits. No pen until age 10, no scientific calculator until 15, no phone until 17, no car until 25. Or what if people had to demonstrate a working knowledge of the product - the semiconductor, the internal combustion engine. Responsibility, not just rights. They'd call it fascism of course. Self imposed limits are an artificial selection pressure which could improve the state of society.

[@hobbie9071]

​@@Daimo83That's actually quite an interesting point. It immediately reminded me of something I think I read in Machiavelli's discourses on Levi. About the common theme between the two types of successful kingdoms, those that endure. That was hardship. If your people were in an inhospitable environment you would often grow strong from it and conquer your neighbors. This civilization would collapse as the fruits of its conquest fell to quickly into its mouth and they lost their culture of hardship. The only ones that truly endured had a culture of self imposed hardship, the primary example being the Spartans. As I understand they were able to break Glubb's civilization cycle and lasted for almost a millennia in roughly the same form and people. Due to this central aspect of simulating the circumstances that create strong civilization.

[@GodsOwnPrototype]

​@@Daimo83This is exactly the principle of my positive vision, only I'd go bigger & have each person be raised graduating up through the deep forms of technological changes, including ways of thinking, from prehistory up through the industrial revolution, as children into natural early parenthood (teens into 20s), heavily assisted by young grandparents (30s into 40s). Life expectancy, especially with harsh darwinian conditions acting as a natural filter at the start of life, followed by active, healthy childhoods, would easily reach over a century. & with current health & medical technology being increasingly applicable once raising a family & the option to commence cyborg interventions having raised the second generation, there no reason why the futurist vision couldn't be progressively applied from a person's 50s onwards. I call it Rooted Progress & it seems the most sustainable way for a people with modern technology to retain a shared culture & common experiemce despite eventually living lives of bio-cyborg enhancement extendingn them through an extra century & possible space travel twilights & final decades on star ships or other worlds.

[@defectiveindustries]

@@Daimo83 My generation basically followed that; we didn't/weren't allowed pens at school until around 10 or so, the internet wasn't rolled out till we were 15-16, mobile phones didn't become mainstream until we were 18-19 Driving was the only thing we did early

[@NedJeffery]

Focus on growth as an unqualified good is the type of thinking that results in unconstrained immigration.

[@acropolisnow9466]

Exactly. It basically abolishes nationhood.

[@alancantu2557]

Another factor here is capitalism inevitably incentivizing people to not have families or kids, but to opt for personal “gains” and individual pleasure. The decline in native population increases demand for immigration, further weakening any semblance of nation or kinfolk. Increased crime, low trust, and no common language or identity. These are all portents of collapse.

I'm a zoomer, widowed with a young baby, he will not have a smartphone, I myself am weaning myself off the phone as I recognize I'm not setting a good example for my son. There is no TV in our home. We go each Friday to the local butchers where the employees greet my son by name. He smiles and laughs from his baby carrier. it's a wonderful, wholesome experience. We go out for a walk outdoors every day, and about every month, we travel to go see grandparents and extended family. Living in military housing, I know my neigbours by name, not just next door, but I know everyone on the street. Children still play in the street each night on base. I know I cannot be a father, so instead of trying poorly to be a father I rely on friends and family to come together and teach my son what it means to be a good man. That alone has begun to build a community I never would have expected. I hope that is a whitepill to y'all.

[@titanomachy2217]

The Amish and Mennonites and Hutterites are basically the only all-white communities in the West anymore, they've been outlawed in secular circumstances, with governments even working the mixing of rural communities that are majority-white into their immigration plans. In Canada, for instance, since 2020 or something they've been purposely incentivizing third world migrants to move to 90%+ white rural communities. They even published a paper talking about how to fix the "problem" of these pockets that remain majority-white and how to get migrants not to just move to the big cities only. They didn't even bother to attempt coming up with an excuse for why we would need to do this, it was just taken for granted that the existence of majority-white rural communities is a problem that we should all want to "fix", for some reason. With that in mind, I think it is probably only a matter of time before even implicitly, accidentally all-white communities and churches are banned, so that if you want to meet in a church you're going to have to show the state that you have non-white worshippers in the congregation. While I doubt they will ban these sects entirely, I would be surprised if they don't get infiltrated by woke cultists and watered down to the point of being indistinguishable from non-denominational Protestant megachurches. I expect to see a push to bring black and brown people into their communities by any means necessary, because even just a few thousand white people being able to procreate in a stable manner generation after generation is a huge problem for the genocidal globalist elites, who are 100% committed to bringing about our extinction.

Nice revisit. I'd throw out there that there is something to be said regarding the fact that folks will adapt when techno amusement simply isn't an option. I bet a lot of folks would feel liberated by that.

[@F--B]

The day-dream is an oasis of ‘peace and security’, in which 'everything has been taken care of' - all important decisions indefinitely deferred - leaving man free to amuse himself to death. The day-dream is underwritten by a ‘religion of technicity,’ which puts its faith in the redemptive potential of technology - as exemplified in the profane eschatology of 'The Singularity.' At the heart of this religion is the Antichrist, an augur of the final revelation. His is an optimised, fully-automated world of ease and comfort - a counterfeit, virtual world - created in the image of man, not God.

I see a path defined by discipline and strong conviction, where technology is not forgone and still widely used but less necessary, removing the people's dependency, but still used to enrich lives, to see out the vision it was originally intended for without sacrificing mankind's agency by creating a people of high agency and community.

Grew up in a business establishmentarian family, wavered back and fourth between that world and at times living with hardcore separatist communities in the Ozark mountains. Listen, most of us technically have the option of being amish if we sincerely wish to be. I would never dissuade anyone from that, but if you want to live in and interact with civilization (if you can still call it that), then you know very well what you are signing up for; what you will have to navigate and contend with. Either way, do it with a clear understanding of your mission, then you will have no regrets. Nothing new under the sun.

By far, the biggest problems with rejecting the revolution of mass and scale , widely spread technology, and other such larg scale ideas is that you will get outcompeated and conquered by someone else. There must first be a way to stave off other competitors and remain powerful before you can start imposing restrictions on technologies and social organisation methods. Or, to put it another way, you need a powerful totalitarian state to artificially upkeep our small scale, less connected societies.

[@user-ub1dz8js7s]

I grew up with Trumpton as a kid and to me living in a suburbia of a mid sized Northern town, I regarded Trumpton back in the day as a cute, simplified, blue print for an idealistic societal setup in Great Britain i.e. something to aim for rather than the selfishness of people in general and my neighbours in what was 1980s England back then. In the 80s as a child, I used to dream that maybe there would be places approximately like Trumpton, hidden away somewhere in the home counties and that it was a real life possibility but now the concept of Trumpton seems almost as foreign to me and unlikely as say, an entire Amish community village suddenly popping up in rural Lancashire.

I would have to say that the expansion of material production has been a blessing, but that its financing of radical capitalism (mercantilism) and its mass consumerism that is the curse. Having plentiful and accessible means to furnish our material needs has seen to comforts from such wants as food, shelter, and clothing for the multitudes; but the creation of needles wants and needs by the capitalists has equally seen to the nullification of such benefits in their drag on the mental, physical, and cultural health of those multitudes.

[@macsnafu]

Come on, capitalism is an ECONOMIC system, not a comprehensive philosophy for life. Of course capitalism focuses material goods. What else should an ECONOMIC system focus on? You need some other philosophy or belief system to go along with capitalism. Also, it's not really so much about maximizing material goods as it is merely about the efficient allocation of resources to produce goods and services. Services, of course, are not material goods in themselves, but usually use material goods to provide a service. Last, but not least, supply is produced to meet demand. It's still up to the consumers to decide WHAT they demand, and how much of it they demand. So if you think we're living in a highly materialistic world where the object is to keep up with the Joneses and have the most toys when you die, then that's because *you* decided to choose that. Choose something different--capitalism can still support it.

[@bigbraincontent]

The remnants of the grand cultural soul live on in the peasants, dormant. The cottage population is a store of cultural wealth that should be grown to a critical mass. When that mass reaches a threshold there will be exceptional people coming out of it who will rise beyond the cottage - not in spite of it but because of it. AA's interest in elite theory focuses on the 'high' end of power, but there is also a 'low' end where talent breaks off of the mass, and it seems that this is a subtle thing. Jouvenel acknowledged this when he wrote about this rising talent being scalped by incumbent Power, although he doesn't go into detail about the mechanism of how an individual moves from the disorganized mass into the realm of organized talent. Remember the Spenglarian functional (as in f(x)) understanding -- things like belief and ideology don't come into it at the top end of Power, but at this low end I think that they do.

One thing that strikes me is that you are focusing on the normies perspective, whereas the elites under your system would face a dilemma: how do they stay informed without all of this tech? If they drop it, they may be ignorant and vulnerable, whereas if they exempt themselves from the ban it creates a disconnect from the population they rule. The Westminster bubble is horrific in how it has diverged from regular native people, surely such a thing would also form should they fail to reject tech. That's discounting the issues of defence against external parties as well. Are we comfortable ceding the world to China, who will 100% embrace transhumanist bugmandom? Will they leave us alone?

They marry a woman that was born in their own or the next village. Whatever sophisticated technology is needed for army or industry is produced in centralized towns. The people in the towns (engineers, scientists etc) live in small, energy efficient pods. As motivation for living there, they get a minimum of comfort and occasionally some access to luxurios food, better medicine. Children are sent to or from cities based on their aptitude and their own choice. It will end up like this eventually, all resources expect biomass are limited on this planet. There are ofc also many uncomfortable sides. Child mortality will rise, not everyone will hav access to instant medical care.

i enjoyed this more down-to-earth commentary on your positive vision for a functional human society. I remember the original one sounding, frankly, nutty. Then your reaction when people commented so, was extra unhinged. This is a better approach. I disagree with you, that this is what humans need to have a healthy soul. The explosion of technological growth after the introduction of intellectual property ownership proves that the human spirit yearns to grow and expand in understanding and capability. I'm specifically picking a time before Baby Boomers, for an important reason. Your analysis is missing an integral step. It's not that we need or should find a society that is not obsessed with growth, the societies that will exist in 50 years /will be/. The systems in place are growth obsessed, but also growth requiring. That's because with the Baby Boomers, growth was always happening. This decade, the Boomers will retire. Over the next 40 years, they will die out. The population of the planet will halve. In America, the system of money printing only works if businesses can create more wealth than the wealth being destroyed. That will die with the Boomers. I think there is value in your positive vision. But I think you're too disillusioned by the current world order to see the good parts of the human soul in the system. So you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. But people should respect the fact you have the stones to actually create a positive vision that is removed from the world we live in. It's easy to say "The world we live in now, but without X/but with Y" which can open the door to the same rot and decay. It also lacks imagination. My only request is to offer more than this single vision. The society left standing after the dust settles might use pieces of the visions you create, as no singular vision is going to work alone.

This is what I've found by experiencing life in Australia vs the Victorian industrial workhouse mentality of the UK. There is simply more room and opportunity to live feral with less and be happier and freer for it.

I really don‘t understand the appeal of living in a small village. At the end of the day it‘s a form of escapism.

I want to add that, listening to Conservatives for over 10 years, I came to the conclusion that it‘s not the Left who are what Nietzsche called „the last man“, it‘s a description of the Right, at least the Right of 2024.

@@Vingul Ok, but it‘s current reality. You might think a village with 150 people would be great, but at the end of the day you will never know. Because they don‘t exist anymore.

​@@rudi5139 Lol, I actually live in one. And I used to live in the capital, so I know what that's like, too. Funny that you should talk about reality and think small villages don't exist. Give yer head a shake.

There's also a negative vision that might suit you more. You'd be clearing out people all day.
