F*ck the modern world!

+
Ok I get that tech has gotten to a point that is invasive, but I love me the Cyberpunk debauchery and coolness so even though I agree with Johnny about many things... I don't in many others.
 
Don't do what exactly? Not f.ck the modern world? - It is aggressive, a lot of forces are directed at your personality in order to deform it, to subjugate you, to catch you and destroy you. I'm not a revolutionary, but in this case, f.ck the modern world can simply mean "be able to strike it back". If you just sit back and do nothing, you'll become a corporate slave. :censored:
just don't want you to hurt yourself. That's all. just in case, I put that out there for ya. I feel your anger. I understand quite a bit about this particular topic and it is sad that it is a topic and simply not what we all are working to make better. most people are selfish and stupid. you are lucky to be as aware as you are. my question is, what can we do? me and you and anyone else that feels the same way here, what is something we can do? I try to be loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and to have self control. That's all I got. "we ALLLL love eachother":rolleyes:

Quite a difficult question - “What to do?”, I won't pretend, I don't have a definite unambiguous answer to it. But. I suppose we can determine what we should definitely not do - to be a passive majority now is exactly what all sorts of liars, hypocrites and manipulators want us to do.

One, I think one can't be stupid - so you have to read as much as you can. Second, one have to be independent, not depend on anyone for your opinion. And another, I don't think the world gives us many opportunities to be meek, loving, gentle, etc. right now. You still need to be ready to fight, at least mentally - that is if not calling for concrete action.
 
Quite a difficult question - “What to do?”
What to do? Hmm ...

The West has lost its mind. The East is mostly run by old-school dictators. I only see one way forward: Let dogs run the world. Dogs are natural problem solvers. They'll also keep the cats in line, who would otherwise enslave the entire human race within a week. They're more dangerous than AI.

That's about all I've got. Oh, and play more video games.
 
I say fuck all the intrusive tech from the modern world, keep the sexual decadence. Gotta watch Milfgaard Part XXV and bang some joytoys
 
I can't help but feel biased. Despite dystopian fiction and media - like Cyberpunk but not only - showing us how bad certain technology or certain (unregulated) usages of it can be I'm generally open to modern or new technological trends. While some consider it a bad word, I'd think of myself a bit of a "transhumanist", using new knowledge and tech for empowerment rather than shying away from it.

Of course, some tech needs regulation, clearly, but if done smart enough more people can and will benefit from certain technological trends, I say.

It's weird that I'm seeing updates in this thread.... Did I ever really post anything here? ) I've been out of my mind I guess :LOL:
I don't know, I think the very wording of “f..k the world” is, well, kind of...non-productive, may be. Why f..k it? Look for opportunities for yourself, stay alert, find the resources you need. You can't avoid what affects you, you just have to find the right response to the circumstances. My answer is first and foremost, the right understanding.
“Non ridere, non lugere neque detestari sed intelligere”.
It sounds a bit trite, but I think it's essentially correct. No matter how bad things get, the main thing is to get the right view. There is still an internal logic in the events, even if the players think that they act spontaneously and are absolutely free in their choice. Those who have the ability and resources to cause us trouble are in their own way bound by their position in the world, they are on the same chessboard as us, and we should not think that all the moves are calculated in advance. Understand, look for ways out, create favorable situations, find new opportunities, move along secret paths, turn not to the rules but to exceptions. The way of the stalker. The way of the mole, but a mole who refuses to be blind. I guess that's about right.

' Yeah I never understood that "phrase". You are wishing a wonderful human event as a curse when what you should be saying is AUDIT YOU! '

-don't remember who
Indeed, one should always be more specific. For example, "I want to destroy the world. It's over, I'm sick of it!"

We were overdue for a depressing fatalistic post about a depressing fatalistic thread.

Oh, please. The post on the contrary is literally drenched in optimism (which is punishable in the Cyberpunk universe, by the way). Optimism is not welcome, to put it mildly.
 
“f..k the world”
F*ck the MODERN world! Little nuance there.

Latin is a dirty language for dirty people in this modern world. It's not just vulgar ;)

Eat or be eaten seems the purpose of this world. After passing you will be food for intelligent beings you might think don't exist.
You are a crop to be harvested when ripe, that's the price you have to pay for this so-called 'gift' of life.
You can have what is left, if any.

Lie said to Truth, “Let us take a bath together, the spring water is nice!

Truth, still suspicious, tested the water and found that it was really nice.

So they undressed and jumped in. But suddenly Lie jumped out of the water and fled, wearing the clothes of Truth.

Truth, enraged, climbed out of the well to get clothes back.

But the World looked away in anger and disdain at the sight of naked Truth.

Poor Truth returned to the well and was never seen again, hiding in shame. Since then, Lie has been walking around the world dressed as Truth, and people are happy to believe it – for the world has no desire to know naked Truth.

Truth is offensive to most. Most like it hidden under a nice mantle of 'love'. Try to be honest in any social setting and see what it gets you.

Plus, Truth lies in the middle or so the saying goes, :), everyone is standing around it, and just sees his/her part of the truth and takes is for Truth Absolute.

Well, is the last thesis true or false? :)
Of course it is!

F*ck the modern world 'fun' 'fact':

When you die, your funeral usually is within 14 days. Approximately after 49 days of your funeral 98% of the attendees will have forgotten about you.

Careful now! The whole conversation is starting to show insight, sense, and reason. Keep that up, and the sun will implode, the sky will fall, and all the butterflies will spontaneously combust to start wildfires in the desert.
 
Quick reminder that we need to keep the conversation on generalized topics (whether making a serious point or not). Any references to specific cultures, social groups, nations, religions, racial issues, or sexuality/gender issues in a real-world sense will need to be removed.
 
I remember some quote like this:

"If all life is farmed by 'intelligent beings' as part of a great ecology to serve a universal purpose, then human life has the potential to provide higher qualities of energies than other life forms. If these qualities can be produced through death/suffering, then human life has a clear purpose. "
