We need to destroy technology

[Unidox]

Okay, I saw threads like these in other boards. Who's with me on setting out to destroy this technology (particularly the very recent and fancy things) and saving capitalism for generations to come. Another reason is, for example I feel bad for the generation that wouldn't know what a 'video store' is.

I literally just addressed this point, you don't go into pain overload, you go into shock which means you don't notice the pain and can escape the dangerous situation! Pain is obnoxious, but it is actually a pretty decent alarm system.

I mean shit, by his argument, any system capable of cascade failure is a shit system. Since most computers are more prone to cascade failure than humans are, I guess computers are doubly shit.

Computers are more prone because they are put through greater extremes than us. Also we are working on reducing that in them as well.

Computers are more prone because they are put through greater extremes than us.

And yet they're also really fragile when it comes to a fair number rudimentary conditions here on planet Earth that we fleshy critters can shrug off with little-to-no difficulty. Such as the inevitable infiltration of water. Or dust. Or freeze-thaw action. We have to go out of our way to provide dry, climate-controlled environments for electronics if we expect long lifespans out of them.

Besides which, I think Xenoglade was talking more about a computational issue with computers rather than physical.

Because people have the natural tendency to look at their own childhood through rose-tinted glasses and assume that it was far better than it actually was. The probability that the OP was a child in the mid 80's is very high.

I'm going to put it a little later, if he was a child of the 80s (as I am) he'd also know a world before video stores and wouldn't then think that it's one of those age old institutions lost to this world but instead a blip.

Agree. I was born in 88, and video stores were always around. Then they weren't. I missed the local one until we got decent internet, then all was well.

There was a store that opened when I was a kid at the end of my neighborhood that I would bike to every day and eat a giant candy bar and rent movies the woman who owned the store didn't have the sense not to rent to me. If that bastard hadn't done that I might have learned a decent trade and be svelte and attractive.

You know what? I hate that nice, nice lady...

I find it funny that in an anti-technology thread (unless I missed an earlier one), it took 8 pages for someone to make a Unabomber reference, lol.

[Hardened Pyrokinetics]

Sure. You start.

Anyone who proclaims the need to destroy technology while using said technology regularly is a fucking hypocrite.

*brandishes broken motherboard with sharp edges* Y-you *hic* keep off my technology, you-you-you Lunkey Muddite!

zat is either a joke or....well....why don't you move to North Korea ? They don't seem to fancy those''technology'' things either

[Sociobiology]

Fixed.

Maybe for small stuff, but when you are immobilized because the pain is too great and you end up torn to pieces it isn't that great.

that is not how it works, but since you profess willful ignorance about biology, why do you even try to talk about it.

I did not see Vouse and Aven already dealt with this nonsense.
oh well.

I don't need to know anything about biology to know that I can, and have been immobilized/disoriented by sudden pain.

so you were unaware of an injury and your body made you stop and figure out how you seriously hurt yourself, when no cause was apparent.
I have been gored, bitten, and stabbed (well had a piece of my ear cut off), And I can tell you I never was immobilized by the pain, quite the opposite I barely even feel the pain until I calmed down. adrenaline is a hell of a drug.

Alright. I never got an adrenaline rush. I had a chest infection that felt like someone stabbed me. I couldn't move. I couldn't do anything, I quite litterally stopped in the middle of flipping over a couch. I landed and sat for almost 5 minutes without moving before the pain went away.

It's a proven effect, that pain can stop people.

pain can stop from doing things that injury your body when you don't need to do those things, yea, that is what it is for.
if you had been stressed, say by a predator or a rock slide, you know things that actually put your life in danger you would never have been stopped.

Because that's how people learn.

[Condunum]

Hah, no. That's a very un-capitalist idea, and it flies in the face of progress.

Who doesn't know what a video store is? Everyone knows that it's an app that can be used to replace Netflix

[Geilinor]

Destroying technology would lead to the utter collapse of civilization. The wheel is technology. Stone tools are technology.

[Densaner]

Yes. This internet thingy and related online discussions have gone too far.
