Originally posted by Nil I can't. I don't believe in freedom. the whole concept whatever way it's defined always seems flawed to me. I took issue with "society is dreamed up" which is clearly not the case at least the way it's defined in the dictionary.
You know what, I actually think I agree with you. Freedom is impossible. It's all inevitable. We are going to lose our humanity, ourselves becoming engineered products as we work towards building God. I think Kaczynski didn't need to make the effort.
What do you think about that video? -

I'll have to read that one day.
Maybe after you read it you won't think society is falling apart and will instead want it to fall apart. -

People are people. Society is a system dreamed up by people. A system which will continue to narrow the sphere of human freedom.
Freedom means being in control of the life and death issues of one’s existence; food, clothing, shelter and defense against whatever threats there may be in one’s environment. Freedom means having power; not the power to control other people but the power to control the circumstances of one’s own life. One does not have freedom if anyone else (especially a large organization) has power over one, no matter how benevolently, tolerantly and permissively that power may be exercised.
It is said that we live in a free society because we have a certain number of constitutionally guaranteed rights. But these are not as important as they seem. The degree of personal freedom that exists in a society is determined more by the economic and technological structure of the society than by its laws or its form of government.
Constitutional rights are useful up to a point, but they do not serve to guarantee much more than what might be called the bourgeois conception of freedom. According to the bourgeois conception, a “free” man is essentially an element of a social machine and has only a certain set of prescribed and delimited freedoms; freedoms that are designed to serve the needs of the social machine more than those of the individual. Thus the bourgeois’s “free” man has economic freedom because that promotes growth and progress; he has freedom of the press because public criticism restrains misbehavior by political leaders; he has a right to a fair trial because imprisonment at the whim of the powerful would be bad for the system.
It should not be assumed that a person has enough freedom just because he says he has enough. Freedom is restricted in part by psychological controls of which people are unconscious, and moreover many people’s ideas of what constitutes freedom are governed more by social convention than by their real needs. For example, it’s likely that many leftists of the oversocialized type would say that most people, including themselves, are socialized too little rather than too much, yet the oversocialized leftist pays a heavy psychological price for his high level of socialization. -

Society isn't going nuts. Society is what makes people go nuts. -

People want this tech because they are miserable and lazy. They are miserable because of society and nobody in power is looking to change that, because nobody will blame society. They prefer to blame individuals and this changes nothing.
The future might not be a place for me, but that doesn't mean nobody else will be able to thrive there. I'm sure it can work, but its just not a world i want to live in. However, due to the tempting nature of VR i might just find myself doing it anyway.
I think it's inevitable...
Lately I have not been able to shake the feeling that we have no free will, we are just parts of a process that is bigger than us and what we think of as our reality is a sort of illusion or simulation or just our perspective, that it's all a part of something bigger. Time is an illusion and the past isn't really the past and the future already exists. I think there is a machine at the End of Time, something like VALIS, something like God, and we are going to build it eventually or actually we are already a part of it and we are like conduits for processing information or something like that. I can't shake this feeling and I can barely describe it but there it is. -
