Is it entirely impossible to compensate for technological advancements long term? - Is it Japan or is it a labyrinth?

[Alex Hogendorp]

I am not entirely sure if living in a forest with much less of a need to wipe our own ass make up the best memories in any human being but staying in Japan for 2 weeks felt strange to me. The only star I seen there was Vega and I never seen the Moon there at all. An then going to Kyoto and climbing a mountain there was the least autistic thing I've ever done there until I was being beaten by my Meniere's Disease. Now, I entirely reject this liberal hippie lifestyle culture as I don't want anything to do with the devil. But we feel so weak and insignificant to our ancestors because we're so numb to sitting on our asses all day and smelling our own farts. I never had to rely on a map traversing around my own campground but I always had to rely on a map using Japanese subways and I still get lost. Due to knowing I have a chronic debilitating illness. I halted almost every production because of it, retired my music career amongst many others. I was thinking of trying to reconnect with nature more and more and see if that helps in the slightest and maybe entirely reverse diseases thought to be incurable. People were commenting on my extremely neurotic schizo ism recently and I had to continuously shit on a bunch of LGBT flags as my form of relief. But I do guess humanities best memories are out there in the wild, hence simpler times.

I feel for you, but from then on, it goes a bit off the rails I think. Don't think in absolute because of a single disillusion.

You're not doomed. It's not a death sentence. It's more like a life sentence. There will be up and downs and there are ways to minimize the symptoms.

Nothing has changed, your ancestors just stayed in their own area. And whenever they would venture outside of it, you best bet that they would map how to get back. If you wanted to, I am sure that you could go to the next forest around your home and find your way back without a map.

I hope that you get some sleep brother, you need it

Unfortunately we kind of live in a situation where people are constantly being dragged away from any form of spirituality or connection to nature. There's a major fixation on very shallow worldly things that can be shown off to strangers, and unless you want to be a lonely weirdo who doesn't fit in with the current zeitgeist you're encouraged to behave the same. And any place the old ways still exist, gets stamped out in favor of a far more efficient transhumanist future.

Problem is, even if you wanted to go off and live in a cabin in the woods, another natural element of human psychology is the need for some kind of interpersonal connectedness and group identity. Alone you may subsist, but you'll never thrive. That means you're forced to reject your own nature no matter what path you're on; embrace humanism and be alone and obsolete, or embrace transhumanism and sacrifice your soul.

If anyone's found a way to rectify that conflict in modern day, I'd sure like to hear it.
