Admittedly, I abuse modern technology and all of its unnecessary evils just as much as the next fellow, but I do despise it.
Maybe not as much as Theodore Kaczynski, but you have to wonder about the worth of material things that cause some to see life as being secondary to intrinsically worthless shit. Ironically enough, I say this while typing on my MacBook, with Gmail open in another tab.
But I think humanity would be well served if the lights went out, the iPhones melted away, and the mind numbing filth that permeates the internet faded to black. Imagine a world in which human interaction counted for something more than temporary fulfillment of materialistic urges.
What if we had to actually work together to survive? Now, I'll be the first to admit that I would quickly perish from a combination of boredom and starvation.
Yet, what if we retained and utilized our instincts, that deep down primal shit all of us possess, but is convoluted by reality TV shows, cable news, and corporate debauchery? Fuck it, too much thinking for now, and Prison Break just came on.
