Luddism is indirectly anti-incel.
Technology is the only thing that can truly solve the problems of the blackpill. Anti-aging to deal with the agepill, better alternatives to cosmetic surgery (which is currently too limited in what it can realistically do) like nanobots to rearrange your entire craniofacial structure, AI girlfriends for lonely excess males, etc. Our problems are mostly genetic, and transhumanism is the only thing that can solve that. Yeah, yeah, you can technically do eugenics, but the problem is no matter what you do, a certain percent of males are going to end up at the very bottom because it's all relative. Get rid of everyone under 6'3, and 6'3 would become the new turbomanlet. Zero sum game. In order for there to be moggers,
someone has to get mogged.
I think in the long run everyone will be happier with singularity tier tech, as long as we get UBI. I'm 100 percent e/acc. I just want my sentient AI (non-literal) mommy gf and to look like a turbo pretty boy.
Smartphones in particular caused immense damage to soyciety, i don't think the younger zoomers here fully understand this
Yeah, while I'm 100 percent e/acc, at the same time I'm able to see the other side of the argument. Technology (especially the internet) has had some negative effects on society for sure. The internet has certainly caused a lot of division for sure. Most zoomers and younger millennials grew up on the internet and that's demonstrably had a lot of consequences. People these days are hyper-introverted, closed off, isolated and atomized due to being terminally online. Basic social skills are gone, and most zoomers and younger millennials (the ones born in the early 90s) don't even like talking on the phone and prefer texting because talking on the phone gives them "anxiety".
I'm old enough to remember when the internet was just for "nerds" and normies only used it for e-mail, instant messengers (to talk to people they knew in real life only), research, and pornography. There was "the internet" and there was "real life" and nothing that happened on the former had any impact on the latter. Those days are LONG gone, and anyone who can't see this is boomer-brained and living in the past. The internet now is just an extension of real life. "Online discourse" is discussed in real life constantly. Most zoomers I see are very clearly heavily influenced by tik-tok and most 25 to 35 year olds I meet talk like stereotypical redditors (and express the same opinions/worldview thereof). Tik-tok and reddit have vastly more influence over zoomers/millennials than anything else, including legacy media like CNN or fox news. The average CNN viewer is like 65 and the average Fox News viewer is like 70. Everyone who isn't a boomer gets their news from Reddit, tik-tok, or twitter.
Anyway, getting back to the point I was making, I think we're at an awkward in-between stage. Technology is advanced enough to have made us lose human connection, but it's not advanced enough to fully replace it (which would require sentient AI). Don't get me wrong, I'm nostalgic about the 90s and 2000s. I miss the internet of that era, and I miss the social climate of that time period. But that's gone and there's no realistic way to ever get that back. The only solution is forward, the only realistic solution is e/acc.
