I’ve read anti-tech revolution by him as well as a couple smaller essays. It’s all good shit tbh. I like Zerzan too
Certainly won’t make up for a lifetime of rejection, but I’d rather voluntarily leave the system than spend my whole life trying to cling onto what scraps I can. I know myself pretty well and while I’m not paticularly good at anything that actually matters in this world, I’m a decent fisherman and getting real good with my longbow. Grew up in Tennessee hunting wild pigs and shit with my grandpa. That’s what I got just by luck of the draw and I plan to use it to make a life that is at least a little bit worth living.
The world is shit and I’m lonely almost all the time, but when I’m out in the woods or sitting on the riverbank and the sun is rising and there’s fog coming off the water and I got a belly full of wild fish or game there is a certain sense of tranquility and relief. I feel like I did back in elementary school, before I cared enough to worry about anything.
Even the bad days I have when I’m out fuckin around in the woods and stuff: Mabey it pours rain on me and I get all soaked or I don’t catch anything when I go fishing, they aren’t paticularly bad days. I don’t really know how to explain it, it’s like I’m content even on the bad days, where as normally between work and school and shit, even on the “good” days I have when I must function in those places, I’m hardly content
