@ebbot 5/5 oversocialization is of great importance in determining the direction of modern leftism. Leftists of the oversocialized type tend to be intellectuals or members of the upper middle class. Notice that university intellectuals3 constitute the most highly socialized segment of our society and also the most left-wing segment. --Ted Kaczynki, Technological Slavery (2010) #technology #dystopia

Analyses which appear very rigorous, which are built on statistics, and which make no reference to these problems are the most dangerous. For they, too, are ideological, but they pretend to be purely scientific and have an appearance of strictness that one does not find in more rhetorical but more honest studies. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

@ebbot 2/2 multiplication of networks, makes necessary a certain type of intelligence to which the language corresponds and in virtue of which one part of a nexus can easily be put into touch with another. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

@ebbot 2/2 aristocracy. Technocrats, too, have their own language. They do not have to spell things out to each other. There is a language that is common to all technical categories, and also a language peculiar to each specialized area. This is one of the important aspects of the power that ordinary people do not share. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

How to build #solarpunk (the aesthetic vision without the social change) - watch now 00:59s
Instructions were unclear. Penis stuck in an #elysium sky paradise for the rich while the poor are burning on the wastelands.
Do not. Walk. Towards. Omelas.

...it is likely that neither the human race nor any other important organisms will exist as we know them today, because once you start modifying organisms through genetic engineering there is no reason to stop at any particular point, so that the modifications will probably continue until man and other organisms have been utterly transformed. --Ted Kaczynki, Technological Slavery (2010) #technology #dystopia

technique is our environment, the new %22nature%22 in which we live, the dominant factor, the system. I need not elaborate on its features: autonomy, unity, universality, totality, automatic growth, automation, causal progression, the absence of finality.13or need I discuss afresh the distinction between the technical system and the technical society. --Jaques Ellul, The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

Finished Brave New World
Wow, holy crap I found that to be like 70-80% dogshit. The first couple of chapters and the last couple of chapters was what I really enjoyed. The stuff in the middle was pretty much "promiscuous women bad" which - look, I get it was written in 1930s, but some things need to stay in the 1930s.
If anything, I wish I had soma to make me feel better after reading that crap.
