is rejecting modernity viable or even ultimatley worth the effort?

If you think you can reject "modernity" but keep the devices and media, forget it. If you think you can just wander off into the woods and leave it all behind, well there used to be places you could go to do that. Also, a lot of philosophers think the period of "modernity" ended in the 20th century though don't necessarily agree on when. This is the age of postmodernity isn't it? There was a snowstorm here so I slept late today and might have missed an age or two dawning in the meantime.

As above, so below. As within, so without. As in the universe, so in the soul. Just as the world viced your cord, the Greater C|amp will vice the whole world. So no. There is no escape. All cords will be c|amped.

well thats a terribly vauge question. What do you mean by rejecting modernity ? If you'd be happy just tearing off your clothes, grabbing the nearest woman, and running off into the woods together then why yes, of course its viable and worthwhile. Perhaps you expect something more, though.

Viable and worth are subjective. I enjoyed living with no tec for a while. Other people find themselves in a help group cause their phone broke. But you dont have to live in extremes. Rejecting media can be a healthy step. Its merely a stress inducer unless you deal in stocks etc.

>>56604 Modernity is both a distinct period and the period around whenever you use the term. It's more of a contextual thing to determine if you mean that period or "around now," with most casual usage meaning the latter.

i think thats a little too vague of a question, there r many ways to reject modernity, so to speak. how do you mean ?

You don't reject modernity by choice, but because it's in your nature and power to see beyond the smoke and mirrors and not be able to ignore it.

>>56619 I agree, rejecting modernity is deeply rooted in human nature, so much that even leftists don't deny that human nature is inherently leaning towards collectivism

We have reached an Epoch of Sincerity . The sooner we start internalizing such a thing , then the sooner the formerly spooky aspects to life , integrate normally and consistently with human infrastructure .
