His argument is that it can't work. But the distinction needs to be made between small scale technological progress and that of large scale organisational technological-industrial progress and dominance, because people take him to be calling for the abolition of all forms of technology, which is not what he actually said.

Is this a toddler’s crusade?
Reducing rape, slut-shaming, and suffrage to reckless child’s play?
A platform for accusation impunity?

>But the distinction needs to be made between small scale technological progress and that of large scale organisational technological-industrial progress and dominance

Precisely. To use an incredibly crude example, something like a mobile phone can exist without the likes of Google having access to all of your conversational data, browsing history, etc... One does not necessitate the other, even if it helps to enable it. Too often the position is presented as black or white, with the inevitable goal driving those towards the Google side of the argument by preying on insincerity with regards to comfort.

And he was never against technology, only the rapidity at which it spread and disrupted societal norms - and even then not in a blanket fashion. Medicinal progress is wholly different towards the development of 'social media', or conveniences that allow for complete detachment from the outside world. They are not to be treated with the same disdain as they aren't the same. It's a very nuanced argument and he makes it incredibly well; which is why it's a shame it's often lumped as a, as you say, 'abolition of all forms' approach, which is probably only done to lampoon it and pigeonhole it with other fringe ideas.

Enough.

bowden predicted everything about the new internet culture of the 'alt right' and other assorted internet counterculture movement

>"If you can tap these forces of—in some respects—codified irrationalism, if you can bring them to the surface, if you can bottle them, and if you can then add on reason and add in the discourse on Counter-Currents, you will tap the energies of future generations of majority Americans. And you will do so because it appears to be extraordinarily interesting. More interesting than anything else. More threatening than anything else. More shocking than anything else. And that is something that the Right should actually in my view heighten, in a civilized and persuasive way."

>"One should never lose sight of the reason that people are opposed to our ideas is because they are thrilled to be frightened by them. They are thrilled to be appalled by them. It is the political equivalent of Satanism to many people. I’m saying nothing that is at all original. And in doing so we actually make ourselves tremendously attractive at certain levels of consciousness—not to some Southern Baptist chapter, admittedly. But you make yourself tremendously psychologically appealing. You may not have a halo over your head but you are transfigured in a sort of dark and sepulchral light, which makes you deeply spiritually ambivalent to people who exist now. And that contains the prospect of growth and the prospect of renewal."

>"I personally believe people agree with ideas long before they moved towards them. They have an instinctual saying of “Yes!” They say “Yes!” to the idea before they completely have worked out all of the formula for themselves. The Counter-Currents of this world exist to provide the formula for people after they’ve said “Yes!” After they’ve put forward their first step upon the route to identity, and the politics of identity, and the religion of identity."

There’s a spiritual torpor out there.

They are the most dangerous ideas, and therefore they have a subtle attraction to radical and dissident minds."

>"Don’t forget that everything which has occurred in the last 50 years was once so dissident that the people in the 1920s—those who advocate the ultra-liberalism of today—had to meet in secret, because they were frightened of revealing what their views were to the generality, and to their own families, and to work colleagues. See how the entire notion of what it was to be “progressive” or “reactionary” or “unprogressive” or “traditionalist” or otherwise has changed around in a hundred years."

>"It’s entertaining, and that’s one of the things that people have to realize that will attract many people to our side. The bloody- mindedness of it, the useful cantankerousness of it. Everyone likes a rebel up to a point, as long as they’re not personally and they’re not adversely affected by the consequences of such radicalism. And what we need to do is position ourselves in the way that the International Times and ’60s radicals did the other way around."

>"If we become the lightning rod for cultural revolution in the West, you will see, in the future, student movements that are loyal to the Right rather than Left, even if these terms break down and in increasingly group-based societies no longer have any meaning, as is occurring.

>"But never forget the thrill of transgression. Right-wing ideas are transgressive. And are therefore interesting, and sexy. Herbert Marcuse once wrote about the eroticism of the Right. Susan Sontag did as well. And the Right is more erotic than the Left, is more exciting than the Left. The Left is boring, the Left is extraordinarily grungy and erotically unexciting, you know, despite its prevalence and its penchant for decadence. There’s a degree to which it is not as radically outside the box."

>Good - and it's a positive trait to have. I'm not so sure how far I am capable (will should never an issue, or excuse, for anyone who truly cares) to go, but it is something to be worked on.
I'm in the fortunate position of having no family or friends and very few attachments to society apart from those that I've grown up with and become accustomed to largely out of convenience. I could quite easily walk away. I'm not afraid of dying out there. Most people aren't so lucky, and to detach themselves would be far more painful and problematic.

>Precisely. To use an incredibly crude example, something like a mobile phone can exist without the likes of Google having access to all of your conversational data, browsing history, etc...
If I understand you correctly, here, then I don't think a mobile phone would be a good example to use. A mobile phone would definitely be a product dependent on large scale organisation. You would need factories to develop all the parts, factories to assemble them, warehouses to store them, and you would need towers for the signal and perhaps even satellites. You would also need factories and warehouses to build the factories and warehouses necessary to assemble the technology. You can see how quickly it spirals out of control. The one cannot exist without the other.

I think a far better example of small scale technology to use, and it's one Ted himself uses, is that of a local blacksmith. When the Roman empire collapsed they lost a lot of their large scale organisational dependent capabilities, but they could still make metal tools because that knowledge and technology was decentralised, not reliant on large scale organisation, and therefore was retained.

bowden was a paedophile

>And he was never against technology, only the rapidity at which it spread and disrupted societal norms - and even then not in a blanket fashion.
He had nothing against small scale decentralised technologies of the past. He wasn't advocating a return to the stone age. But he was definitely against large scale organisationally dependent technologies that emerged post-industrialisation, because he (correctly, in my opinion) saw it as a Pandoras box that would wreak havoc and cause disaster.

>It's a very nuanced argument and he makes it incredibly well; which is why it's a shame it's often lumped as a, as you say, 'abolition of all forms' approach, which is probably only done to lampoon it and pigeonhole it with other fringe ideas.
Agreed. It's also used by people who haven't familiarised themselves with his argument to justify not having to bother trying. "Get rid of technology? He must be mad! Stupid terrorist! He killed people, he did."

>Earlier this year, the political activist and author Jonathan Bowden died at the young age of 49. It is fair to say that the last few months of his life were not happy ones. One thing he found extremely distressing was that he had been smeared as a paedophile. This came about after another individual named Jonathan Bowden, a teacher, was convicted of downloading what appear to have been indecent images of young boys. Incidentally, one of the judges who heard and upheld that conviction in 1999 was the very same High Court judge who laughed in my face at about the same time.

>Years after this Jonathan Bowden's conviction, the other Jonathan Bowden's political enemies found the case and distributed a smear story to the effect that it had been him. It may have been a similar act of malice that led to Lord McAlpine being similarly smeared. While we need not take seriously the ravings of David Icke about serving presidents or humbler British politicians kidnapping, torturing, raping and even murdering children as part of their Satanic rituals, it is fair to say that there does appear to have been a culture of cover up over matters which although falling far short of murder are still extremely serious.

Ace video, what a powerhouse.

>I don't think a mobile phone would be a good example to use.
>is that of a local blacksmith.

I chose mobile phones as they're symptomatic of our level of technological achievement and how it negatively influences a great many people. Blacksmithing is much less reliant on a supply chain, as you state; but then, if you limit the technology to that which can only be produced within a certain radius (or settlement size), that then implies a de facto cap on the level of technological advancement that a society can 'ever' achieve. It was a bad example now that I think about it and for what else I want to say.

But, I think the problem with defining that limit as something that can then be 'retained' knowledge is that it is far too loose of a definition to ever apply broadly across differing groups in society and at different points in time, at which point it loses its utility as a concept. It probably worked quite well in the pre-industrial age, when technology was largely limited to what could be mined in the ground or gathered at hand, etc... but today's devices can store almost infinite information on an almost infinite number of objects. Say there were to be some sort of societal collapse - and the internet went dead tomorrow. It is likely that someone in this very thread would have manuals on farming, agriculture, car servicing, whatever, saved to their hard-drive. Access to this information is then contingent upon having electrical power - this can come from a generator, or solar panels, etc... Not wider society. The generation of these ideas may have come from large-scale organisation, but ultimately the continuity is not dependant on it. This is then 'retained' knowledge, is it not?

I don't necessarily believe (or perhaps I do, but am yet to come to a summarised conclusion of why I do) there is any inherent limitation to the level of technology that a decentralised society can ever have. As long as there is access to trade, why not progress? (1/2)

You rich fucks will be dealt with soon
