    Why not just say you want an easy life without complications?

    What happens if tech becomes extremely easy to use and simplifies the annoying parts of life, letting you eat more bananas per day - still a no?

      You mean me personally? I use tech all the time, even when I have a choice. But I do think it’s important to consider the effects of the technology we let into our lives; particularly those effects that we don’t yet understand. I mean, that is kind of how we got into this global warming mess, right? I’m also more than a little sceptical of the idea that complex societies improve our lives.

      But neoluddites and anarchoprimitivists are a diverse bunch with interesting and conflicting opinions, and I want to hear, debate, and meme about them all. Now they can unite under the slightly absurd yet oddly compelling banner of returning to monke.
