To get away from it all completely. I recently adopted this mindset after burning out at work but still having to work.... So yeah, haven't fully recovered from that. I really just want to walk dogs for a living. Part time. Then do art and play bass.

We know the horrors of how the tech is used.

We're all coming around to Kaczynski's arguments

Because we're not allowed to kill the MBAs ruining it.

Because technology went from something you engaged with at your discretion to a form of drug a cartel is threatening you to take else they skin you alive.

Because technology stopped being a fun toy.

I would guess because the woods are more natural and don't require deep examination to find answers to problems.

If you saw a tree fall in the woods you don't have to spend an hour figuring out that the tree fell because it had root decay which led to trunk decay and also had a wood pecker nesting in it but one of their offspring died which attracted bugs adding to the decayed of the tree. Oh and none of this explains why the tree next to it fell over too because that tree has been well taken care of and always looked healthy.

guessing that seeing the quality/experience thereof become increasingly optional for shareholder value

and getting actively, blatantly used as tools to attempt to dismantle any semblance of democracy

does things to you
