I think we should discuss Technology, its effect on not only our mind but our souls, and Kaczynski's manifesto "Industrial society and its future" talks about the effect our modern lifestyle and technology has had on human beings.
We spend too much of our precious time staring at screens when we should be spending it in nature, where is the greenery? all i see are cars, buildings, there is no nature here.
Sitting in front of your computer or staring at your phone for hours every day is spiritual, physical & mental death. It decays you in ways you don't realize. Our lifestyle is completely unnatural, it's not healthy nor is it good for our souls. How can we hope to achieve spiritual ascension living like this? I would like to believe part of the whitepill and accepting it means you slowly but surely stray away from this life we currently lead, we will be happier leading a more natural life, being outside, grounding, walking barefoot in the grass, breathing in fresh air from trees instead of the smog, the smoke and heavy air full of pollution. We must become free.
I dream often of having a farm or something similar/easier away from the cities, sustaining myself with livestock, growing fruits and vegetables, living a peaceful and natural life, a life that doesn't involve the internet or very limited use of such things. An environment where i can nourish the soul and be truly happy with a wife and kids. None of this blackpill or other shit i have to worry about. I want to be free. I am a shackled animal and the anger and frustration has built up over the years. My physical and mental health further declines each day. I believe the same is happening to millions of young men all over the world. We are all closing in on our breaking point, we have endured and suffered enough. We wake up each day hoping, begging for things to change but they never do.
The real epidemic is of loneliness. One of the biggest things young men are being misunderstood for is that they crave sex, when in reality we crave intimacy which involves sex but it's far more than just the act of sex. When women and some "men" attribute all incels as just losers who can't have sex and only want to use women for sex, they're not only demeaning and belittling us for our shortcomings but they're reducing us to the likes of animals, not human beings with intellect. Where is the decency and respect to address young men who got the short stick in looks, height or whatever have you? So many of these men "cope" and distract themselves by using the internet and avoiding socializing with people because of a lifelong experience of negative reinforcement.

We can say technology as a whole has had a positive impact on humanity but we need to address the issues that are right now plaguing young men, and what are young men suffering from? loneliness, depression, rejection, a lack of brotherhood, companionship, socialization and much more. And where do these men turn to? the internet, the hide behind the internet, they hide behind screens to fill the gaping void hole in their hearts because the world tells them they're to suck it up and be a good slave instead of addressing the very real issues that young men are facing.

We/You must reduce your time on the internet and staring at screens whether it is a computer/laptop or your phone. Living in the city is spiritual death, spend more time in nature, spend more time doing natural activities.
Do not spend all/most of your waking hours staring at screens and using the internet. Nothing good will come of it. You could say that accepting the whitepill is made easier when you lead a more natural lifestyle and reduce your exposure to the very things that cause you mental anguish. Just my thoughts on technology and spending all day staring at screens. I speak from experience, i have led this very unnatural and damaging lifestyle since i was a teenager and i am now a lot older than most of the blackpill/looksmax community.
I understand why young men shut themselves off from the world but it is not the solution. There is/has to be another way if integration into society, atleast the way the government and everyone seems to say so, isn't possible. I understand hormones/desire to have sex with women is sky high as a young man due to testosterone/libido. But we cannot change women, modern women have so deeply been propagandized that they are beyond help, atleast nothing that the people who struggle in looks/women/etc can do, too small of a minority compared to the normal masses who seem fine with such a system. I could even say technology for me personally has ruined my life and played a major part in how fucked up my life has become.

What are your thoughts on technology and how much time we spend on it? what do you think about human beings spiritually and how such lifestyles affect us? I really think spending less time on the internet would significantly help us all.

neo-ludditism is a cope for the most part. i mean, i get it, but there's a point in which you need to accept industrialization as an inescapable force. the trouble is in the domestication of people through the value-neutral provision of material amenities in order to fuel consumption, which is certainly something which you could moderate without becoming some triple-chinned bariatric fuck. you can part from this current, sure, but eliminating technology from your life is never a clean cut. it would be incredibly difficult to sustain in the long run; you're not a coenobite, you don't have enough purpose to walk away wearing sackcloth and ashes, and i doubt that you actually have the resources to live like kacyznski, let alone send mailbombs to cunts

tl;dr you live in a presumably liberal globalist society jfl

I understand your point of view but something must be done, we cannot continue like this. We are just descending day by day into a very bleak future that awaits us, as a society and even as individuals who choose not to get away from the degeneration of society.
Clean cut from technology may or may not work, i think it can but i did mention limit time using technology to very low levels unlike what the average person does now which is spending most of their time staring at their phone or some form of screen. Why do you think it would be difficult to sustain? i know you can't just get up and obtain a farm to sustain yourself but you can work towards a goal similar to that. It is quite unfortunate that most of the modern structure in our society runs/works through technology so really there is something to be said about it not being feasible to do so unless you become a monk of some sort. Kacyznski didn't have many resources though, he lived in a small cabin and didn't live a life of luxury or anything like that in seclusion. Living in the countryside is a good start from beginning to lead such a life. The mailbomb part i don't agree, i agree with his message but the method of his delivery or way to get attention i cannot agree with.
